APRIL GARRIGUE
along rockrose and lentisk
and dodge the ageing orchis
gone dull and dry.
I’m seeking the shade
of the twin holm oak
and tread on acorns
that winter forsook.
Dead leaves crackle
under my foot
and the pine-tree wafts
its warm resin away.
Snake your way up, little footpath
among the thyme
and dappled shade
of a dashed springtime.
