from, A Country Diary

Wenlock Edge (fourth)

it comes, it flowers

ivy flowers

comes from feeding on ivy

from the wasps feeding on the wings

and wasps

wings of hoverflies

of hoverflies

and of hoverflies

do as do butterflies

tortoiseshell butterflies

as the small tortoiseshell

the light is ragged

small light is held

in greenbottles ragged

held in their wings

the itinerant hoverflies

greenbottles, their wings

like flakes that the itinerant hoverflies like

flakes of mica know that

of mica or shreds

not know

or shreds of cellophane

or may not

of cellophane

they may

they may

or may

they may

now broken

now the end

before the end

broken that idea

flowers before that idea may --
    ivy flowers may 
travel in the ivy

travel in the dreaming

in the, in the insect of dreaming

insect wings

a moment of wings 
   in, and a moment in, their buzzing lives

and their buzzing restless, restless lives
