each branch swells a tight new tooth /
the whole bush / ABOUT TO BURST
and only a fly hangs around
something that thrives on seeing / taps inside my skull —
Oh baby baby it whispers / screw the lid as tight as you can
I’ll worm through the threads / find a way out of your jar
my lungs exhale my want / why not
one more seeing / what appears
is appearing?
I stop / study the buds’ tiny fists
and SPRING which now is running amuck
rear-ends my concentration / BANG!
everywhere / now / I see
streaks of red in vegetable veins and baby green
I see / there’s no stopping love / there’s no stopping love / gone/ wild

Poems for THE LIST (eners) 
There is nothing else to say other than I really like that poem – the way you identify with the tiniest, usually inconsequential things, to the majority of people, with regards to nature. I have only read it once so far, but look forward to reading it again. It sparks off a lot of thoughts . Maybe some you intended and others not.
