grey slats of wood and a place
to rock in the swing and see
honeysuckle unfold and know the nasturtiums
will come on strong - twine up the stairs
with orange fighting
honeysuckle green - and anticipation
of the beauty makes me see it now
while two weak strands
of transplanted nasturtiums faithfully
lie there -
lifting open-palmed leaves
like two little hands.
