Sitting in a garden, in April.
The noise of children in the afterschool hour.
A plane going over.
In the distance, a car passing.
Trees coming into leaf.
There is a slight breeze.
Longer flower stems move.
Bees.
Cat.
Fly.
The gently swaying banches of a tamarisk tree.
A bird singing.
The flower-beds are blue under a quilt of forget - me
- nots.
Plastic guttering cracks from the warming sun.
Wood rots from winter snow and rain.
