Heather

Today I saw heather bounty

illuminate a folded moor

with purple promise, shimmering.


I passed along and left it there,

yomping, yakking on


like when a day is finished up;

a day when treasure hangs around

in clusters, azure, jokes, in folks


but sleepy dreamers miss it mostly,

gaze up at the moon.
