Little Kingdom
“invasive” Wisteria
owned the yard –
we bought
anyway
moved in
ten years
now
each year we cut it
back and
it comes
on more
full of course we
cut it back tug
avid vine
from trembling
fence
again
again
Fine. Grace
effaces.
Bee balm
salaams the rooted
idiom of lavish
plants at the pollen
crawl in
just find a cool spot
for the delphinium
prune and pray
for garnet
incarnate
in my rose
