New Year

tiny shocking pink cyclamen flowers and their green and white leaves thrusting through a frosted bed of fallen leaves
voodoo cyclamen
Like Damien Hurst’s skull
my garden skeleton,
coated in diamonds,
glitters white in the sun;
paused in winter decay
under frosted sunlight.
Shocking pink cyclamen
in defiant whisper
of hot colour to come,
curl tiny faces from
the glistening bones,
voodoo jewels piercing
the monochrome magic.
