Held Up

the day I received the news,
you said, “I’m with you”
when you were thousands of miles away.
small words
that held me
up
when I could no longer
stand.
understand me--
this was a love poem
written
into
my body

Perennial

when winter has failed,
the parched hydrangea dips
its green tips
in rain
dreaming of its
past lives
when it was more
leaf than flower
