AMID THE SPOILS

the silver weathervane horse turning turning
from giddyup! wind slaps
atop the greenhouse chatter of
voices spooky and coarse
announcing roses stiff as bark
gardenias stained brown
dahlias of frozen spikes threatening needle marks
irises weeping sticky blue tears
camellias their corollas swollen in black slashed tones
african violets stodgy hunks of colorless kelp
lilies shriveled to mere paper cones
squinchy petals underfoot emitting a sodden bouquet
merriment slayed by some wrongdoing along the way
dare the clouds above assemble for grace?
or the sun in tranquil splatter
essay another day?
