#23

We have never been to Glastonbury
and wonder if there’s something
we are missing.
We watch it from the living room, mesmerised.

The garden is beautiful today,
in our absence it has changed.
A hundred roses burst from their buds,
The spinach flails wildly.
Sam runs from bush to bush,
Searching for raspberries,
gooseberries, tomatoes.
