Wild Garlic
Transgressive plant
slipping definition.
Lily-of-the-Valley dainty
yet bitingly assertive
adding piquancy to our meal
as we talk of how it is for us
this mid May evening.
Constellations of miniature stars cut from
a mass of edible foliage
hefted from a cool corner of a manse garden
where Stevenson played,
now perfume and linger on my senses
causing me to sit and savour
the offered sustenance of this day
and give silent thanks.
Ah, do you know where wild garlic grows nearbyish?
