Twenty years in the forest –
watching trees grow –
watching
trees fall down –
What have I
learned from this?
That trees
grow up –
That trees
fall down.

Blazing in
the sun –
white glare off
the grass blasts the eye.
Green light
off the sun beams the sea.
Light through
leaf and light through green –
The beetle
shuffles.
Sing birds
your chirpers to the sea’s boiling roar –
Drowning
sunbeam’s silent rush through space.

Chiff-chaff
a chatterjack crackle -
Crow scaw a
roeking mock in black –
Buzzy bumble
a bee go gathering.
Leaf’s
banner’s spread and Spring declared.
