I am
green growth
rising from rhizome,
bud and bulb.
I am
sepal, petal,
stigma, stamen,
stolon,
male and female,
sexual
and asexual.
I am
pretty where
you want me: I am tulip,
poppy, geranium
and rose.
I am
hogweed,
balsam, knotweed
where you
don’t.
No-one
can stop me.
No Arthur
can lock me up.
Even my beloved
in his cold stone fortress
loses his hold.
I am
Creiddylad.
I am freedom
reaching from
darkness towards
the sun.
I will go on.
