Cloudy With Sunny Periods

A white spot in the clouds, a sunflower heavy with seed, grass too long, should I mow it, and a blackbird’s wing colours red, limps on the path and if heavier crisp snail shells would echo each skip. Draco, the tomcat eyes me pleased: only the blackbird bleeds to death.

And dying it wonders/ Was it all a season in the head/ Or is so beautiful/ Draco sniffs the night/ Its featherless flesh/ ... sorry, I am so seduced I could not resist rubbing each word with my hand.
