It bows now only when it needs:
Brother, I've come to remove the ties
from your memorial tree. Its blooms
are early, pale pink under last night's dust
of snow; this morning smells of fertile earth;
a starling cocks his head, eyes me from the fence,
near and unafraid.
About the author:
I'm a Michigan boy. I say that even though I've not lived there since 1978 and I now complain about the cold when it's not really all that cold. The most interesting information about me is that I am the husband of Tracy and the father of Graden, Cole, and Seth. We live in Hampton, Virginia, with a dog, three cats, and a turtle.
