 For Sylvia Inoue McCandless



When birds sing at sunset 
Persephone is near
Driving flowers forever higher

Birds flock in the fall
Flower petals float in the fountain
Windfall apples feed coyotes

Winter approaches
Some Rhododendrons already are in bloom 
It may snow or it may not

Spring will come again
When birds will sing at sunset
Persephone will reappear
