A lepidopterous lament.

Bearing down on sound I sense the loss of whirring crowds

Of local critters and this leaves me feeling sad

& much concerned.

My buddleia is ripe and yet the visitors of star and stripe

Are noticed in their absence and are silent

As we speak.

St Swithins Day upon us and the pollen uncollected

How connected are the dots of suspect seasoning

& fate?

They’re maybe here and just not ready to capture eddies on the breeze

My ears will wait and listen long to hear the buzz of

Natures song.

Maybe tomorrow they will fill the air with

Bumble sounds and wings a-whirr and bob around and dance

A waggled flight?

For now the loss is felt and worries me

 as flurries go unseen unheard unless until

the balance is refound.
