POPLARS

The fluttering, bright, green leaves
Were hacking their way through the wind,
Clattering as only poplars can;
Those poplars,
Tall havens for bickering starlings,
Were waving endlessly to
The bright blue sky;
Constant friends
To heaven and us creatures of the earth,
Never stopping to ask
What the other’s worth.


Cy. August, 1983.
