Marc Latham’s new Folding Mirror poem celebrates the joys of the spring season, when memories of cold winter lose dominance to hopes for warm summer, and new life emerges into the heat of a greening world. For long-living species like ours it is an annual cycle, but for some it lasts for just a few hours of our day; a time when they frantically follow their instincts, trying to make good of their life for their species, unburdened by distractions… although other life forms might try and eat them! It’s all of joy and interest to us anyway. Here’s the poem:

Abundant Life, Lives Absolutely
sunrise of the year
should be spring
surge movement
spins life cycle
full speed
open sky fuels life, nourished by faraway sun
whirling buzzing
birds and bees
busy trees
making the most
of their natural time
