You don’t care that someone was here

Before you: those two fat pigeons

Dumpily purring, the noisy ones

Who think I can’t see where they slump

Between flower-pot and plastic bucket

Breast to breast, at roost –

No, you are too quick-dark

On the rim of night, flickering

Through the chill buds of the camellia,

Unnoted, untweeted creatures,

Dunnocks, foraging

December and the year’s husk.

Mimosa

Why is the mimosa here

Inside its dark frame?

So down-to-earth, it comes out workmanlike

Year after year, breaks its own branches

With plumes that make the sky quiver.
