[Springtime]
Springtime came in secret.
New life stole in quietly.
Rain fell but I stayed dry.
Lightning struck in silence.
Sky blue eggs hatched peeplessly.
Gardens bore untasted fruit
With no one there to weed.
--
[Summer Sun]
Summer sun arrives in splendor,
Everything proclaims its presence.
Car hoods shimmer, daubed with heat,
And trees put up a thousand billboards.
Bare feet burn and ice meets tea,
Even cans and bottles sweat.
Cicadas sing the days away,
And all night long the moon reflects.
--
[Marigold]
Marigold I miss your
Shining countenance. Never
Lonely by yourself,
You didn't need my
Florid gaze. You
Sang sweet orange
Harmonies to no one.
