Protecting your pots
From the first frosts of autumn
Digging for carrots
No bones here
Plump tomatoes
Gooseberry prickles
Raspberry sweet juice
Dribbling down mouths
Units of field ants
Bearing large cargo
Crossing defences
Shielding their nests
Weeding in spring
The green tubers
What did you root out
Bulbs or bombs?
Worn out passports
Decaying suitcases
In the tin shed where
Memories remained
Shops, church, church again
Scales on the piano
Rebuilding your ramparts
Brick by brick.
