Greydusk swallows colours:
blues already long gone,
and the most - dour green shades
sliding to greyscale.

I risk first midges of the year,
here,
invisible now.

Dandelions shrugged their yellows up
tightly as they can  -
faint, tarnished blobs -
only apple blossom still blushes
wavering to hold place
on darkening boughs.

But then, those delicate,
almost luminescent,
stippled clusters of white
in the thorn of the hedge?

May is readying herself.
