Large Skipper (2026)

Born from pearl you take the colour of foliage that gives you shelter.

Verdant worm, tireless tailor drawing leafy bedclothes close at the first chills of September.

Awakening, you eat through spring cocoon and emerge
a blackened ember.

You pose senescent out of season dirty amber flaming flutterer.

You perch, rise, return to lush launch pad stowing treasures for another summer you will never see before you flit and fade like setting sun blazing estival skipper.

Patrick Widdess, Norwich, Norfolk
