New bracken unfurls
Sea-horse fronds born in grass
Gnarled Ent shadows whorl
Busy silence pulses past
Sea-horse fronds born in grass
Solitary bees hover
Busy silence pulses past
Over-wintered trees recover
Solitary bees hover
Beech-root fingers grip
Overwintered trees recover
On granite rocks clamped fast
Beech-root fingers grasp
Gnarled Ent shadows whorl
On granite rocks clamped fast
New bracken unfurl
