The closure of the naval
Communication centre 
All cordoned off
After last years cull

A flat thumping sound.

Extravagantly exuberant growth
Phalanx of grassy hedgehog 
Flower dactyl spears 
Haphazard racing embrace

Afternoon oblique curtains 
Angles drop indirect light
Formless the wall

Dirt pacted path
Of years of home
From work walks.

Snapping wing sound grass
Hoppers taking flight
Far off the prop thin
Sound of a slate sky
Obscured plane
The wind rattles the dry
Leaves imitating 
The watery flowing.
