bringers of spring
filling ditches
decorating roadsides
planted by the wind
unkempt
wildness
sprawling bright beauty
lupins
grown beside Mary
carefully tended
colorful
cut back
in high summer
to make space
for the next floral flush
lupins
seeds hard like black beans
spread out on the table
placed into packages
stored
dry
for the winter.
