While my plum tree blooms,
a dog without a collar
sniffs the fire hydrant.

First weekend of spring—
the price at the pump goes up,
yet my plum tree blooms.
What is in the wind
that makes the raven shudder
and the plum tree bloom?
Bloom
a hidden courtyard
where the morning glories bloom
three hours past high noon
Dreams
A blooming plum tree
keeps appearing in my dreams
on the coldest nights.
Morning Glories
Three morning glories
blooming in a secret place—
why shouldn’t I sing?
Scent
On a bloom-filled branch
the caw a crow left behind
takes on a new scent.
