pollen count high –
bee on a cherry coke
splutters its wings
*
burr of phones –
the soft hooves of
the Glasgow train
*
slicing cellophane –
three a.m cab hushes
the snow
*
summer fall –
ripe blackberries
juice underfoot
*
pink frosting –
slavered gum
frozen overnight
*
flowers losing
light – white blossoms
the full moon
