Ground zero

Poem by Jonathan Wooding

by Jonathan Wooding 16th October 2020

Rain is all mist without fall, and
mottled with grey motions, the sky.
There’s a sea-roar in that fruitless sycamore,

and eucalyptus leads the cheer, throwing
jackdaws in streaming perichoresis
about a pale, unblooded sky.
