Open The Door

The privet hedge a sparkle
of diamond after the rain
in this full sunshine
concave lanceolate, here

the leaves offer raindrops
certain evaporation
dazzle darkening recesses
sadness becoming nameless

aftermath edges fraying
breeze ruffling like a hand
shaking out tears, sighs.

Lorries carry-in many years;
pigeons lecture: 'Remember
common and human qualities.'
