on sitting
in front of
a hedge
there’s nothing to see
at first, but you keep sitting
and looking, well there are
colourful plants rising behind
dusky pink and mauve and yellow
conifer-tops beyond
no, stay looking at the hedge
OK well the rain switter’s across
the windscreen veining vaguely within the arched wiper zones
slowly obscuring and reflecting
the hedge away
still, keep looking at the hedge
movements of the wind shift the
grasses grown tall and the hanging
bramble stem obscene and reaching for advantage
probing air
no, the hedge, the hedge
has been cut
during the last month
some sort of bindweed growing up through it
in patches hairy new-growth rilled along the top
OK, not finished, keep looking
and new-green creeping out the edges
of the oldgreen and shadow navels other shapes
stark and clearer because they
have turned caramac brown and have
strangely
died
alright now, time’s up
