18th March 2024

 



early sunshine

and the promise of warmth

garden work

growing from a crack

in a south-facing wall

greeting the sunshine

becoming the sun.

The first dandelion of the year

with a head start over the rest of the field

a landing pad for a solitary bee.


Mum taught me to make dandelion wine;

a five gallon bucket by the side of the Aga

turning the spring

into memories of summer.
