the crocus emerged
early spring
a bulbous blue
to spill
color forth
but the poetess arches her back
and says no not yet
swollen red
prolonging ecstasy
hummingbirds blushing
at her wanton roar

we laugh together
in such a way
we coax night flowers
to burst open
after days of
billowing gray
sheets
and mist saddened rain
my pink rosette
unfolds
swells to red
opening petals
to his
sun
