mary's yard



mary, only you 
would have such 
gorgeous dahlias—
bright, and tall,
weathering the october cold,
fiercely, yet delicately, 
defying summer's end
in the face of another
harsh winter.
how these tall, skinny
models of nature
remind me of you
on your nature day 2008.

Merry Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
