fabulous

 




fabulous


february 

with the patience of a bud

waiting for spring’s birthday

in the self-same month as mine 


where mad march hares jump 

and box the words and fight

over the lucky white heather

is this its grand design


the sedge that drains the hillside

oozing with the confidence 

of the closening sun


race you to the top

the man becomes a child

the girl his mother 

whatever you decide 


gingham redresses time

as we settle in the white grass

spring’s budding begins

in your eyes and mine
