Rae wrote this poem after visiting the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Jade-blue Welsh dragonflies
Flying toothpick pond
While over lake, cook's matches throb
As middle finger fat
Green adult heads
Transluscent black wings shimmer

Copper green and orange fishes
Rise like mud bourne Celtic treasures
Tiny tremble surface bubbles
Clear from sand-up two-way mirrors
Feature water beetles chrome
As manic gliding dots

Test-tube circle springs up
Like thermostat for garden heat
Follow lizard stream downhill
Spine knuckles,
Romanesque mosaic

Thick lustrous rushes bed
In tactile algae foam
With fold like paper pulp
The press was pulled
Too quickly from

A chemistry experiment
I want to scoop it in and eat like lime preserve
Mould, massage into skin
And walk into the pond disguised
They'll think I'm one of them...

Splash my toes
A little
in time to insect jitters
Arm curved stem
That's gone astray
Thru flossy and diaphanous.
