Queen of March

While she's still in breathing,
she'll keep the bird-feeds full,
to curry favor with the flutes and troubadours.

Japanese black pine is a monster growing by the hour,
its index fingers declaring the things wild things dare declare:
We are here, regardless of your preferences.

Jasmine bush vines to the lamp post top,
flowery heavy from toe to heaven -
Jasmine Bush the Queen of March .

Cardinal lands on my shoulder, communes a message;
May the garden be your place of worship,
and suffer no tyrant to tell you what hymns to chant.
