Spring, the Benefit of Wasps

(Spring) The Benefit Of Wasps

Spring is Fridays
nine O'clock gulump 
of cool beer 

fresh blue jeans 
promises of pleasure, .

buds on a twig 
trembling soft air – 

first touch of loves
fingertip on flesh. 

torture of anticipation 
ecstasy and hum 

diamond green 
and magic moonlight 
painting on silver.

A song birds damp breath
a warmth of 
Saturday morning bedding 
Mmmmm of 
stretching limbs 

warm fruit in azure skies 
late night thunderstorms. 
shifting shadows  
filled with a child's voice 

dandelions that smile 
hot tea, sugar crystals
sprinkled on stone 
for the benefit of wasps  

...And all of this
before leaves roll over 
like woollen shawls 
on bony brittle shoulders
...and all of this.
before spring 
will come again
