Listen here

 

 

Cherry tree

frost tipped

wedding crisp

 

Iris, snowdrop

wait a new birth

field unfolds

 

where kestrel dives

hare reigns, nature’s

order.

 

House groans

shifts February

sleet, snow dent

 

sun kiss spider’s

tangled nest: butterfly

wakes upon my shelf

 

flutters to coloured

chest, a living heart

for new moon’s

 

Valentine.
