Scouts


Why does it
seem strange
that flowers
would be the first
to notice spring?

Prophesies

Rain or sleet or snow?
Sometimes even flowers can
Become quite confused.
*
White shafts of bristle
Prickle in clumps at the base
Where truffles cluster.
*
Alfalfa sneezes
Its pollen calling card, deep
Inside a sink hole.
*
The scorched earth resists
Becoming a sponge until
Moisture stays steady.
*
All kinds of wild things
Swell alongside the suture
That ice cycles thaw.
*
Where is the future?
Not even a handful of
Thistles can tell you.
