Wild garlic flowers;
White stars scattered in
shade of beech.
Bluebells; bruises between.

Horse chestnut blossoms,
gathered in cones,
point to the sky.

Cabbage White butterflies
perform duties with
light strokes and the
surest of touches.

A level land sits still.

The remains of a pastel
wedding party’s chatter
and distant traffic hums
speckle the scenery.
