Walled Garden


Painted pots bake on the gravel

The latch of the gate is

        Hot to touch

Come in

Sticky fruit is falling

On a jar of jam

A wasp walks the sweet rim

Black cat

        lavishes in sun

Water gathers in one corner of the garden

Stands         Smells          frog-green

Brown veined leaves are burning

Snakes hunger about the greenhouse

and a          cold angel

        Thinks

On the neat box hedge
