81. Kit Kelen's 'in the dell' -- inviting Debbie Lim into the garden

 


in the dell

 

wilted summer where

 

leaf and landing

twig, whiff

 

and damp

with which falls were

 

it’s puddle to a pond

when rain has had its days

 

shelter in the daylight

 

trod grass

with lemon

and another

 

just breathe in

let the eyes breathe

 

in days of creek

the dell gush

a week beyond still

singing high

 

music is made of wings there

 

all of a world is edge to dell

 

every word spoken led

 

that’s where the green is brightest

that’s where your bird sings
