Where did the hope go?
It went to the kale and carrot and courgette,
lifting hands from the dark earth
in silent prayer
Where did the hope go?
It went to the wren and redstart and robin,
weaving songs
round the budding willow
Where did the hope go?
It went to the birch and beech and blackthorn,
Unfurling shiny leaves
to the growing sun
Where did the hope go?
It went to the pear and plum and cherry,
blossoming
for the bees
