The tiniest of flies
flying straight by
still skeletons of groundsel
in a battered wheelbarrow,
over little virid weeds, spread
flat against the peat, again
released from morning frost.

Although flagstones bite
at stockinged feet,
air on hands and face is
warmed by a lolling disc
crowning the neighbours house
across the way
with impenetrable dazzle.
