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.
