musée mia burrus

springtime

 
 the sky
 all sky
 empty of weather, of all but the bluest sky-blue
  
 the land
 all plain
 sepia-tinted oceans of grass rolling on
  
 the birds
 all black
 gloss in the sun and call in primordial tongues
  
 the moss
 all soft
 feather and pincushion emeralds studding the duff
  
 flash
 red tent
 spied from the train, somebody’s home in nobody’s wood
