May Revelation
May 13, 2024
A turn of the sun
around the world
a twist of weather
in the cool drink of the day
a slow dance of rain
waltzing across a field of dirt
in the middle of May
reveals everything
that has been snoring
under the blanket of earth
all the weeds that were buried
clawing their way back to the surface
the strawberries that were seeded
bursting into colour
and the promises
of sweet flavours
to bless the tongue
and then the sun falls
and prepares for another spin
