You are outside beached
I am inside safe
soft body bag squeezed
in a crevice
rubber suckered skin
arms touch-tasting
rippling colour

And I found you
an alien species
new to me

Yes I do miss my little English woodland
yet I still ramble there.

Marvelling at coiled croziers uncurling
fiddleheads unfurling
born neither from seed nor flower
but fast-grown in hours.

Seeking wood brush crowns
starred with maidenhair hearts
lady's feathers, deer fern darts
and straps of hart's tongue by streams
mystical in moss.

And spritzed in scents, bending close,
my magnifying lens in hand
to nose out tiny primal survivors,

Picking a pinnate leaf
patterned to a universal geometry
to trace a line of minute red spores.

Happy New Year!

Fusillades of birds still chase
​​​in a scintillating race

​​​​​with one split second to seize a spark
​​​​​​or feel a salt-slap snap then dark.

​​​​​​​Sometimes silver fishes fly
​​​​​​​Sometimes silver seas run dry.
