Gardenia in the Snow
    Gardenia in the Snow

Remnants
of dirty snow
struggle against the rain--
sun and clouds vacillate to rule
supreme.
And I--
cower beneath your stormy skies
or bask in your fragrance--
white gardenia
blossums.

         Fluctuations

Remnants
of dirty snow
struggle against the rain--
sun and clouds vacillate to rule
supreme.
And I--
like the seasons
bask in your radiant grace--
then cower beneath your stormy
black skies.
