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.
