Blank verse. Written April, 2004.
Summer is upon us
Again
Barren branches bursting buds
And leaves and flowers
need hide no more.
Yellow stars peep out
of a grass-grounded sky
stretched out on Beckman Quad
Was this that Van Gogh saw
and painted Starry Night? *
White and pink blossoms clothe the trees
And winter dies...
Blessed to have a shroud
So exquisite...
* Note: This reference is not to the more famous Van Gogh painting Starry Nights, rather it is to Starry Night over the Rhone
