March 19, 2009

A poem about the dogwoods outside the government building would be impossible to write
because,
like the magnolias whom I dream about when not in their presence,
once I see them, I can have no fantasies.
When I stand & look at flowering magnolia & those two sprays of new dogwood,
I am the fantasy
in the presence of their perfect reality.
