I love
the tiny torpedoes
hurled to explosion
silent among grassroots
and the switch-back snorkeling
of worms
and how
paths like gutters slink
rippled daylight
the immaculate shimmer
of dun silk.
Among grass-tongues’
infinite lapping
park benches recede -
anchored flotsam
like brackets
for the eye
and best of all,
arpeggio nights:
squall’s winsome breath
across cotton-warm
cheeks and ears
asimmer
with almost symphonies
Wonderful poetry!

we haven’t seen rain like that around our way for ages: ‘torpedoes’ is an effective, potent metaphor —

I love the juxtaposed images of torpedoes exploding with symphonic strains. And that final stanza – musical magic!
