Wetlands

 

What want you here?

Your feet crush heads

of wild garlic

break virgin arms

of temple bluebell

 

I come to shrive

I come to shrive


You let me be

speechless

midstream

quieten head noise

 

I lose shape

lose tongue

see life

in limblessness

decay a feast see

greatness fallen see

in small succulence

hopes of earth

water sky

last and always

seers
