THIS IS ANOTHER POEM



about the sky--


a gray car about to crash

into a gray house. Spring will come. And sing

the blues. Of a sky. A blue corydalis

by a false indigo. Such a slippery sky


slipping by on wind, the whole thing

sliding,


HOW TO LOVE WITHOUT CLINGING



Our coral Peruvian lily

stands beside an Oklahoma

zinnia’s popping pink.

A purple bee airport

called Butterfly Bush

has some near misses

but no crashes. White

hostas smell sweet

as the dime store’s

perfume counter. And

to think, this only lasts

a few months. How to

love without clinging?
