Fifteen Irises from my Black Humour to You


Fifteen Irises from my Black Humour to You.

 

The mallards go off like a shot gun;

each a storm of wings

and black as a keyhole.

 

The pond, empty now,

is gripped in a glacial sulk.

 

Fifteen irises from my black humour to you,

their shadows only;

the pond will part with no more.
