Lidl bag
A wild bush, a wreck in the prairie,
roots strewn like raked hair, or rope;
a red plastic can (unknown) (mute), and
the white Lidl bag with its yellow sun; 
white stones on sand, hard and dry;
a layered sky with flying grey clouds
beneath puff white; light refracting  
on red hidden in the bush; the shimmer
of reeds, line of light cutting behind 
(is it an island?)—and she exploits colour
 while I remember my thirst for a pure,
absolute red, my fear when I find  it – 
 its prismatic origin, the way it harbours,
ingests, breaks all known colours.

Lidl bag

A wild bush, a wreck in the prairie,

roots strewn like raked hair, or rope;

a red plastic can (unknown) (mute), and

the white Lidl bag with its yellow sun; 

white stones on sand, hard and dry;

a layered sky with flying grey clouds

beneath puff white; light refracting 

on red hidden in the bush; the shimmer

of reeds, line of light cutting behind

(is it an island?)—and she exploits colour

 while I remember my thirst for a pure,

absolute red, my fear when I find  it –

 its prismatic origin, the way it harbours,

ingests, breaks all known colours.
