spring
blooming on the walls
of the Athenaeum
dogwood daffodil forsythia
bleeding heart snowdrop sedge
a butterwort
eating gnats
all framed and on display
on clean white walls
while outside
the March sun brings forth
flowering quince cherry
bluets and buttercups
all bloom
as daffodils fade away
unlike the art
framed and on display
for all to see
while daffodils fade away
today
