Better to finesse
than to force

DAFFODILS

daffodils thrive in very late
Winter
with
no reflection of their beauty
which

because rains have been plentiful
yellow
same
as dandelions which scatter
by
wind
but daffodils are planned
not
promiscuous

on the silken town
and magic was her name
ten thousand rooms

and in the desert lain
The magics source
had once discoursed

A leisurely long trip—my kin and me,
