Ebernoe Common


the trees are the trees
green the green
are still
and the still bare celandines
and bare but lesser celandines
but spring yellow
lesser spring flowers
anemones
yellow flowers are wood anemones
are emerging starlike
wood emerging through
the white starlike
through the leaf litter floor
white leaf litter of the woodland floor
of the woodland
of the woodland

Wayland Wood


this is still this winter
in winter is still a wood
locked in a wood locked
a wood locked
a wood

twig ends
and twig ends
rise, the trees rise
and as the trees rise
as the trees
the trees rise
the trees rise
the trees rise
