Flora

Bleak and Dire

That I could be rooted

as the grasses and the trees

that endure these dire

winter extremes

not in their exposed

skyward extremities,

but instead through

the intertwined networks

extending deep beneath

the frost line, where all

remains untouched

by the vicissitudes

of artic cold snap

and blizzards blowing.

The Buds Are Set

You might have to look real close.

The apples, the lilacs,

and the forsythias

have made their claims

against the resistance,

choosing instead

the impending unfolding.

Cold as it is,

they have been busy,

undercover you might say,

preparing for the splendor

of spring.

The buds have been set.

Just wait and see.
