Translucence
how inadequate the Latin
for snowlight through
the jonquil’s matin.
Translucence
how inadequate the Latin

Surprised at every turn
my gardener’s heart a-flutter
I think I found narcissus
made of lemon butter!
And so it begins
genesis
triumphant bow
or nemesis
the garden that was
the one that will be
hover in mind
tantalizingly
evolving in increments
slow, heuristic
I allow a trifle
narcissistic.
And so, dear reader, with this first purchase,
begins the adventure of turning someone else’s garden into mine.
and eyelet trim of snowdrop
is gathered at the path
buttoned by primrose
beribboned by narcissus
flounced by violet
the quadrille is announced
the cotillion begins.
Happy First Day of Spring, dear reader!
And again thanks to the S.W.Berg Photo archives.
