Crocus

The hardy six-petalled, goblet-shaped flowers, spring up through thin grass like leaves from autumn to spring (depending on the variety). Most UK gardeners grow early spring flowering types, however, with careful selection crocus blooms can be grown almost in succession from September through to April.
There was an apple tree in the yard –
This would have been
Forty years ago – behind,
Only meadows. Drifts
Of crocus in the damp grass

Night Migrations

This is the moment when you see again
the red berries of the mountain ash
and in the dark sky
the birds' night migrations.
It grieves me to think
the dead won't see them--
these things we depend on,
they disappear.
What will the soul do for solace then?
I tell myself maybe it won't need
these pleasures anymore;
maybe just not being is simply enough,
hard as that is to imagine.
~ Louise Glück
Snow
26 Jul 2013 |

Late December: my father and I
are going to New York, to the circus.
He holds me
on his shoulders in the bitter wind:
scraps of white paper
blow over the railroad ties.
My father liked
to stand like this, to hold me
so he couldn't see me.
I remember
staring straight ahead
into the world my father saw;
I was learning
to absorb its emptiness,
the heavy snow
not falling, whirling around us.
"Snow" ~ Louise Gluck
