I am noticing the importance of wool and scent,
How lime trees make themselves so apparent to me,
How the pencil is darker where my hand is beneath the paper.

 

Last night you said you needed security.
I noticed the ash trees and the roses and
Thought of you living here.
I thought about how I find security
In plants and colours,
And how I could link us in a space with colour
And fabric and metal.
