It's Still Life

Day 12. Imagine you are a nature guide. Describe a walk you would take with your visitors

Mid-Step

Foxgloves and lupins,
towers of antennae
grabbing at the sky.

Wild poppies,
are the envy of red.

A chalk stream moves
with the universe, and an oak,
stopped mid-fall,
waits,
hunchbacked.

I grasp a handful of cow parsley
for Granny’s silver vase.
