This unseasonable warmth
triggers an appetite
for growth,
voracious circles
result
around the rows
at Home Depot,

here’s the healthiest
foliage,
here’s a charity case,
the names seduce,
Caladium, coleum,
lemon, firesticks–

all for inside though.
March here is two-faced,
February not even worth
mentioning,

so one cultivates a life
indoors,
re-learns caring,
waits
for spring
as a new leaf unfurls,
revealing itself as such.
