GARDEN TEA PARTY
Listen to the leaves
of robin song
spill into the rain:
parched dreams expanding
and staining the
long afternoon with
poignant fragrances:
blending past and
hope with vibrant joy.

more beautiful books
on my desk
than I can read
thoughts of my mother
and our shared love of language
some spaces only God can fill
language and books
and all the conversations
among artists who
may not know
one another
fill my heart too
and Spring today
from my April archives:
beginning
in the area
where we had
to take a tree down
new peony leaves
