should a morning star
make apology for its name

should a morning star
decry its elusive nature

some biological species
prefer spotlights on the scaffolding
over that soft spacious light
pouring from the dawning sky

vista obscura

why are they vanishing?
to where are they going?
amid yews and larches
squeezing out wet moss
the foxes looking on
are wondering too
beady eyes and pointy noses
sniffing out of dense fog
following faintest trails
before they too disappear
and only a silver cobweb
left shivering on its twigs

he calls her ‘art house’
