SUN BURST IS NEW LIFE


EVERYDAY BEGINS WITH RECITATION
OF THE NOTEBOOK VOW

doorbell rings and it's my niece
who lives down the block
like in the olden times
she wants to borrow
circular cake pans
for her child's birthday cake
takes me by surprise
she asks
what's that sweet smell
blossoms of China Snow
Canadian Chokecherry
lilac--
taking over from all
that was spent
from yesterday's
Serviceberry
