My thanks to James Stephen for his input on this work.
on the other side
of the path
one yellow flower
**
early, the crowd came to see the famous arch . laburnum. i came to see the kitchen garden, seeds growing
**
old words
for things once common
when the things disappeared
the words went with them
**
some words remain remembered;
scullery, coal scuttle, hod,
broom.
that is yellow.
**
have a vacuum for
most things
broom is for incidentals,
crevices, or when I'm lazy
'bout getting vacuum out
broom is red
with matching dustpan
**
i have a vacuum
there is nothing there.
the broom is for
the garden
mainly
or elsewhere for smelling like coconut
**
sweep your garden ?
**
slate bits
came from gloddfa ganol....quarry in blaenau.
front yard. leaves fall.
**
leaves here falling too
a tree here a tree there
so far
soon it will be
all of them together
a collective shed
next 6 months
nothing but bare branches
**
these are the falling days.
