green--those shoots that
tore through the blackloam--
bursting into red, yellow, the
colors of foreign flags--all on
your staid suburban lawn,
beyond the river, green,
growing up
into blades that cut through
the spring air like a knife
through butter,
unrepentant,
borne out of bulbs planted deep,
with a whisper of hope
before the snows came
