Hard green plums appear
On damson trees at your back door
And every berried briar
Is glittering and dripping
Whenever showers plout down
On flooded hay and flooding drills.
There's a ring around the moon.
The whole summer was waterlogged
Yet everyone is loath
To trust the rain's soft-soaping ways
And sentiments of growth
Because all confidence in summer's
Unstinting largesse
Broke down last May when we laid you out
In white, your whited face
Gashed from the accident, but still,
So absolutely still,
And the setting sun set merciless
And every merciful
Register inside us yearned
To run the film back,
For you to step into the road
Wheeling your bright-rimmed bike,
Safe and sound as usual,
Across, then down the lane,
The twisted spokes all straightened out,
The awful skid-marks gone.
But no. So let the downpours flood
Our memory's riverbed
Until, in thick-webbed currents,
The life you might have led
Wavers and tugs dreamily
As soft-plumed waterweed
Which tempts our gaze and quietens it
And recollects our need.
