about

About lichen, nature, sanguine skies and other ruderal plants.

lyrics

Sunbursts sing at the sacred rare spring,
By a holy well covered in grey growth.
Soldiers shields and a sprinkling of Bone,
Sheltered by sanguine skies above.

Pearlwort sewn between th’ cracks in the stone,
Where the Sea Storm leaves flutter like songbirds,
Wandering through to hedges of green,
Settling softly overhead.

Red fescues growing between of refuse,
Where there’s ruderal ground and lots of cold weather,
Sunburst sleep, in the midst of decay,
Dreaming of ancient waterways.

Catkins fall on an old mossy wall,
Inflorescence bright, capsules gleaming,
In the rays as the sunset dilutes,
Promising sanguine skies again.
