wintry amble…
the basket of wiry sticks
of a magpie’s nest
through the vale
woodsmoke wreaths gaunt trees —
cozy hearth
twilight
the faint afterglow
of a crescent moon
mist loiters
in chill hollows —
star strewn vault
deserted house
from roof beam to floor
a veil of cobwebs
spring clean . . .
on beryl twig tips
buds swell
