Bud, like branch
as if small, or gone far,
to what might you bloom?
A rose prim, or buxom?
A spearing new-minted finial fine
in green iron cast, your tender tendril
to wind against wind
up railing, perhaps,
or soil-grounded for brick’s brace
in your bed, instead.

My friend Simon Tyrrell spun this poem during the course of the Creative Writing for Wellbeing that Sarah O’Hanlon steered us through in my studio. I love it.
