"in the garden: second impression"
to sing a song, a daffodil
(a peony, a violet kills)
to write a poem, a subtle rose
(a daisy caught in violent throes)
to paint, to paint a blossom'd plum
(shadowed moss, both deaf and dumb)
a garden plot, if it so wills,
grows a murderess in its rows
to bring forth winter, cold and numb.
