Convalescent
Pavement seams
in garden brick
blister with moss
A handsome intruder
between blocks
Suspended
in yesterday’s rain
I recline under a blanket of lilacs
hold a hand mirror and a pin
drain cankers
lining my mouth
The ooze – body honey
I stick the point
in an island of moss
The release
something green
A burst of spore
tells me what to feel
