|  | 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?
