The April Crocus and "The Botanical Garden"

(1)

The orderly alpinium
and the ever-changing

warp/weft of a carpet
of snowvalley plants—

at 7,000 feet, one sees that

     thought

is the

     difference.

How charming—

So many old friends
on paid vacation.




(3)

After a while,
I've noticed

one reads the signs
first.
