Creeping phlox blossoms, star-blanched,
crawl gently in choir in the thunder yard,
like soft fare for the silver river fee.
Linen immortelle, shadow-bleared,
knotted aegis against a raw, wracking world:
smeary cloth-stalks lengthen duskily.
Rain-pinked palm, sloe-blotched:
tawny token of revival from those
who idle beneath rude thunderheads.
