Crocuses

Dull, sunless months suffering penniless under coin-metred light

Crocuses showing despite, sun-summoned

Rice white the blindeye-like snowdrops probe impolitely

Light-impelled, the breathless writer so lacking in editors

Slathers menacing patterns upon the mud abutting the delta

Stars not unlike me on the underside of the robe of night.

Go out and shine no matter how you feel inside, you sinner;

You never see a passing butterfly stopping to eye a mirror.
