RENEWAL
Bitter-sweet deep
rancid the flower weeps
strangled by sleep.
#
Beneath brown earth
thick with snails
she awaits birth
as the wind wails.
#
The snows fall
and Spring fails
as a grey wall.
#
Roots search in vain
where worms squirm
drowned by rain
sun turns earth firm.
#
On into the light
pushes the shoot
crowned flower white.
