E J Scovell (1907 - 1999)


I would if I could choose


Age and die outwards 1 as a tulip does;


Not as this iris 2 drawing in, in-coiling


Its complex strange taut 3 inflorescence, willing


Itself a bud again - though all achieved is


No more than a clenched 4 sadness,


The tears of gum not flowing.


I would choose the tulip’s reckless way of going;


Whose petals 5 answer light, altering by fractions


From closed to wide, from one through many perfections,


Till wrecked 6, flamboyant 7, strayed beyond recall,


Like flakes 8 of fire they piecemeal 9 fall.
