Collin Kelley Reads

English Pastoral

Oxford summer
the cottage doors 
open to the garden
where wood pigeons coo
& distant laughter drifts
over the garden wall
I sit at the end of a long table
paper rustling in the breeze 
watch a butterfly flutter in
float over the forget-me-nots
time stops, freeze idyllic
electric blue sky tufted 
with motionless cotton wool
the city in my head goes mute
as I succumb to countryside 
content with birds & breeze
​
