Bridgid’s Day

Sheep milk time is come

The branch snows

From stem of seedful sap

Ripens raiding shooting light

Sends the wry neck back

Wrenching a head around

against the blight

Winter left in worms

for eating things…

The nightingale sings all

The morning now

The green woodpecker laughs

‘Ha Ha Hello’
