Spring
/Spring is here.
My life is nearing its twilight.
Hibiscus, bougainvillea,
Arabian jasmine, gardenia,
they are all blooming.
Twenty Twenty-Six is the cruelest year:
spring rain falling over a garden
near a hospital room
where a doctor tells me
my sun is about to set.
Bird of paradise, morning glory,
peacock flower, butterfly pea,
unfurl in the rain
while I wait for the day
when they bring me flowers.
