summer pendulums
in pink from
pints of rainbows

scuttles, yellow, drop
fine strands of
honey in bins

transits of ochre
dead spill
wads like corn

hot and popped
in a bucket

brush loaded wet
recovers wall
shimmered wet

erratic and fast
ivy pullovers
race crazy leaves

volumes of cloth
wrap neutered
the wildest cotton

print detail
in Paisley
or frond

birds brown have
red berries as
cheeks

radiance picked
bright
in late autumn light

on our colour street.
