A year in green space

Out like a school-girl skyving down the arboretum. Socialised tongues speak organic tea, soft-boiled politics, food/soil preparation.

*

Over-satiated by light, vegetables lean, fat on festival beer, their pupils harvesting relations, too early/late for flowering.

*

All pause. All flesh-dust raked through skittish beds, permacultured to tolerance, in the golden dots before evening.

*

Stilled plots, incestuous as noble seed, stop. Frost, festive cleansing on the almanac’s cake, seals history.
Advent moves in: tables, wares, local initiative, floats…

tinsel dressed annuals counting.
