Cow Green

A glacial wait
for the gentian to spread
the violet slopes again

when the man-made flood came
the purple primrose closed its eye

which had known only stars
and the closer teeth of sheep

small winter poems

pin up
the sodden veil
of the day
all the dark trees
of the dene
wet through
to their roots


-
all the difficulties
of the dark months
even gorse agrees
to withhold


-a damaged rivermeets anotherdamaged riverbutting headsand bellowingthe weirwhips them on-golden plovercalling overthe ancientsalt pansthe momentpocketed-
to carry always
the garden
with you
allelopathic elder
monoecious hazel
the pond broken
and refrozen
into peaks
of white


-
gulls in
grey and rain
score their white
across the sky
how are they
there you here

Die Bezeichnung #Ökopoesie (#Ecopoetry) steht für Naturlyrik, die sich kritisch mit der prekären Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Natur auseinandersetzt. In den USA ist nun eine Anthologie erschienen, die sich diesem Thema widmet. Das Buch klingt zu interessant, um es nicht zu bestellen!
