Daffodils
Circumstances alter cases, so
the daffodils may grow
in a garden border
or in a wood
wild as poke, disordered.
Rank in ranks, stood
the nodding yellow heads
like children needing beds.
Years ago the state road department asked permission to “daylight” the uphill curve of the road that runs by our place. In doing so, they uprooted several large old trees and, for reasons known only to them and God, set them in an old pond bed beside our tobacco barn. There they still stand, while many of their living brothers have been laid low by wind and ice.
