Green Field Speedwell, Göteborg, April 20th, 2003




looking at the flowers
of hairy bittercress
in the same old place
by the spooky-bushes
boring-shrubs

and thinking there's more
than i thought, but
still less than last year

and then my eye catches
an intermingled pattern
of slightly larger
flowers of a different white:
the speedwell


and by the way
there's also flowers now
on the ivy-leaved
in spite of its hard winter



Veronica agrestis
