Docks
describe the dock
the nettle, buttercup
and acid blue strip of dragonfly
docks with bronze eaten spots, foxed rims, red veins, sun spot damage
curl up, lose moisture
to see aging as a dock leaf
experience and weathers
rampled, moulded, torn, dissolved,
other lives showing through the holes
colours adrift
clashing reds mutate into green that stutter into yellow
dried out to burnt orange
a healer, soothes the sting
touch and rub
sometimes works
like us
the nettle, buttercup
and acid blue strip of dragonfly
docks with bronze eaten spots, foxed rims, red veins, sun spot damage
curl up, lose moisture
to see aging as a dock leaf
experience and weathers
rampled, moulded, torn, dissolved,
other lives showing through the holes
colours adrift
clashing reds mutate into green that stutter into yellow
dried out to burnt orange
a healer, soothes the sting
touch and rub
sometimes works
like us

hanging poets
uneven afternoon unlacing the poets
cutting the twine
unwinding tiny bits of wire
floating words laid flat
go home carrying my holey writers
