Omagh from above –
a butterfly in full bloom
spreading her wings
scars on the hillsides –
gorse no longer wave
careless youth
spiders' patterns
on conifers...
wearing a fine shawl
cracks in the pavement
ants pulling
a fly

avenue of tree trunks -
joining branches

Down the spider’s thread
that ties my door,
a spark of shine
Writing messages –
willows dip fingers into
the languid liver
Dandelion suns
turned moons –
the wind halves and quarters them
Oak leaf
in a still puddle,
autumn’s first footprint
Cotoneaster
where an orchestra of bees
tunes up for summer
still lake
red deer
drinking sky
bandaged in ivy,
last winter's
broken tree

two herons hunting
in shallow water at dusk
one strikes, one ripples
frosted hills blazing
with brilliant winter light
I can hardly look
budding on the tips
of leafless branches,
raindrops full of light
