Number 17

A Short Garden Report

Days lengthen now, are softening.
Myriad nascent greens screen sun
through a sieve of rustling.

Willows and pussy willows wave—
long lime-hued pennants down-spilling,
kitten-halos at attention—

and even low-growing mosses,
emerging between these pink bricks,
send up thin flowers like flairs.
