The crimson nubs extrusion, pushing up
through the debris nestled in case to hover
closely, as good fortune in a windfall profile,
ready for red seasonal remarked there. To catch
slant sunlight as cat prowling, in earth warming
from cold in browning tints, twigs in fashion
with new glints to show upswelled. Light wind in
morning, to activate a day aloud, ahead already
remembered, chill now but soon declared and
voluntary. Tribute general allowed, near festive
recalled incoming, designed as first improved,
installed under brief bud coverture, lifted by air
currents. Watch and match as once before, in
fact many times restored to copy extended, by
self-permission, each beside in partner, parted
in near time ceded. Measure the range of best
alteration, interred recurrent finger-point its
hinges in clump appetite, one to follow another
or indeed in clear parallel. Supportive near most
to crowd, cast wild but neatly, dark passage by
feel to wrist awaken.
Note after broach further, all soon enough
again prepared, departure the same familiar
reflection, incautious now by security of multiples;
dig in to fix, root mixing if soundless are true
visited, suited to come together prefer collusion
cousin tracery; splints there were, here established
and novel too renewed. However under search
by longer span of daylight, front to back seen
multi-coloured but crimson prevailed, come
forward in rank assembly prepare in prize
surmised as supplicant, witness beyond hesitation
will accept.

i don't know what this poem is about. "slant sunlight" and "earth warming from cold" seem to mean fall or winter. various colours mentioned here as well that make you think of fall colours; "crimson", "red" and "browning tints". i don't know if it's literally fall or if we are in the fall of someones life. in the last bit we can read "longer span of daylight" which to me would suggest spring.

a "bud" is mentioned and soon after "lifted by air currents", that makes me think of reproduction i think prynne did that in royal fern as well. this line seems to suggest the same "Watch and match as once before, in fact many times restored to copy extended, by self-permission, each beside in partner, parted in near time ceded.".

crimson is mentioned twice, i don't know why?

i will read the poem again tomorrow to see what i think.

[yyaldrin]

could well be yes

windfall
/ˈwɪn(d)fɔːl/
noun
noun: windfall; plural noun: windfalls

1.
an apple or other fruit blown down from a tree or bush by the wind.

 

[yyaldrin]

is that a common word in english? it's beautiful

 

[luka]

usually windfall refers to an (unexpected?)dividend like the price of bitcoin rising i would say, or an aunt you never knew leaving you a million pounds in her will
but based on that underlying metaphor

 

[Benny Bunter]

I'm catching a very slight whiff of Manly Hopkins, Windhover from this, but might be nothing. It does read more like it's about a bush than a bird. Still:

'Catch' - 'I caught this morning..."
Windfall/hover - lifted by air
'Light wind in the morning'

There's a fair bit of alliteration like Hopkins too, and 'vermilion' is fairly close to crimson.

Such a pain in the arse to read off a screen though, I really need to get the new yellow book but I can't afford it at the minute.

everytime he uses the word 'custard' it is a nod to my line in vegetable empire
'immoderate fondness for custard'
which was about prynne and his regular use of the word 'trifle..'
he makes these little nods to me all the time. its very sweet of him.

there are 10 uses of the word 'custard' in the new collected.
