Russian Lavender
and spring rhizomes.
Meaty white
lily bulbs,
waiting,
to ease forth their sweet green tongues;
gasping into bloom
at the first pressure of March’s holy breath.

Perfect!
Dear John,
Thanks so much for stopping by to read. I love watching spring coming into itself and the bulbs always seem dense with life.
