2 poems by Andrew Taylor

Slight Rain Here


Among gravel

weeds


you can make

sculptures


or pick wild

flowers


for the kitchen

table


Rosemary thyme

mint


Scent familiar

after rain


Sunrise 6.11 a.m.

for S.O.


To be rid

of work dreams

to walk lanes

first thing

with the glow

of light

keeping us

from the void


A spider

crosses

the breakfast

table

on which

stands

a bowl

of shelled peas


Clouds

at pace

grey over

white

gentle

rustle of

a brown

paper bag


Breeze

drops

fresh stillness
