Silver Y

 Silver Y

Arriving a slow, fluttering
bloom of heavy wings,
Silver Y settles
beneath nettle edges,
bramble jewels.
 
Her cloak a layered bark;
striking hooks of silver,
inner flutes in navy,
petticoat edged with lemon,
 
 glides -
 
- alights
 
crouches on birch,
spider legs splayed,
silent as summer.
