* * *
Black cap of winter
pushed skyward. Fiddleheads peek--
at emerald world.
Immobile hands lie
pale upon the sheet. Eyes trace
Dreams we'll never hear.
Hummin' that ole' tune
stirrin' collards, rose red lips-
Daddy's comin' home!
Rain streaked beggar child:
"What you give the poor is all
you take beyond death."
Yellow mist, swirling
pollen tornado. Ah-ah
ACHOO! Ah-ah CHOOooo!
Nightshades, like kudzu,
creep o'er abandoned walls. The
Gardener withdrew.
