“Let us leave pretty women to men without Imagination” – Marcel Proust
a tree, a sunset, sunrise;
baby’s gurgle, a goalkeeper’s diving
penalty save, a waterfall, singing blackbird on
a chimney top, a young woman’s walk, and
dandelions,*
dandelions disappearing
on the evening lawn, then following
morning, resurrecting their yellow
tooted leaves towards bloom.
