Post Lockdown


Hillsides covered in irises, roses and purple honesty 

Amidst spurious poses and dis

Honesty

Wading through a wall of dense humid acacia

Scented air

Passing pungent wild fennel 

Delicate dark deep purple roadside posies

Cyclists racing downhill 

Hurtling towards Bethlehem

As if

There were no danger 

Around the next turning

Darkness disaster or dystopia

An antique pale pink tea rose

Its warm sweet spicy perfume

Makes 

Me raise my head

If the centre holds

The lindens will bloom in June
