Grass gone to seed
Both weed and wild-flower mown,
As the roar of the strimmer,
Echoes out across the lawn.
Dozens of coloured heads topple,
Grasses gone to seed fall,
To a spinning plastic whip,
That cuts through one and all.
Sap seeping into puddles
From the mangled stalks,
Strewn about like litter,
Across the garden walks.
When the wind whips up,
Along the walls they huddle.
Spring’s evicted tenants.
What an accommodation muddle?!
Fergus Carty
