March 31 - April 4 Week 69/72
brown flower stalks and textured pods
stand still in the garden bereft
seeds released to the warming ground
in just one of many fleeting moments
happening between the blink of an eye
tight buds open unfurling tender leaves
silver catkins burst with blooms offering
the first of spring's strongly scented nectar
to extremely hungry flies and bees
Just because I always click LOVE, it's because I really do and my heart is popping open like those pods you mention this week.
