The Ditch Lillies
They’ve bloomed just now;
Now-now: June 2, 2017.
I noticed at 6:51 AM.
I feel kinship of a kind.
Only I am waiting
To gather the wherewithal
To will myself to flower,
Once again,
After many a withering season.

Glorious!
Yes!
Short and bittersweet, the poem’s play with sound, especially wherewithal-withering, get to me.
This poem says do it!
