A June poem in December, a December poem in June — blue star creeper blooming in the lawn, the scent so strong, the bees are making notes. I open the mailbox. Love has sent me another shadow.
Bell Weather
how blue and sweet the stars today
how grain to meet the tongue
how saint the nurse of this quaint verse
how old to be this young
