Gardening in the UK in May

A smatter of birdcall
through the wall of music,
pounding drums from earphones
drown the bird's melody
while everything
grows surreptitiously.

A cat watches
lazy midday light,
fur an Ebony sheen,
she licks lips before
anointing a paw,
showering in saliva
under tumescent Azaleas.

Green breath of growth swells,
as bumble bees crumble crusts
of pollen-ripened flowers,
and that just cut grass smell
enthuses and overpowers.

I stand still for a moment,
spade half buried in calico earth
the music has stopped.
End of the Album.

The cat sits up,
shock in her eyes-
as clouds roll in
darkening the sky.

This poem was actually inspired by an experience from a few years ago when I was gardening for a friend, and I did get a picture of her cat glowering at the clouds as they rolled in... but sadly after searching for nearly half an hour I couldn't find that picture anywhere on my computer 😂. The one I used above from pixabay looks a lot like my friends cat.
