Stench of a trash can /
left open in the alley — /
Voodoo lily blooms.

Find the mean May rains.
Find the beauty in the pain.
Find the Iris bloom.

Walk
I walked on the Earth /
and through the May morning sky /
blue and green and me.

Devil’s love
Love-in-a-Mist is /
also Devil-in-a-bush. /
Such is motherhood.

Blush
First blush of blue /
early blueberries ripen /
birds and man waiting.

Kiss
Green berries pucker: /
kiss the sun, the rain, the soil, /
and sway in the breeze.

Three leaves
Three leaves gather rain. /
Heavy with sky, touch the ground. /
Glistening repose.

Rose’s mind
I will never know /
a rose’s mind — only /
that you planted it.

Hope
The Hail Mary here /
Is neither pass nor prayer /
But hope for the creek.

Skirt
Iris rise from dark soil, /
dress in a skirt of May rain, /
bloom and fall from light.
