Alyssum
On the day of vernal equinox, erotic crocus martial
white floral attendants, unfurl from chilled earth.
Spring evokes a profusion of diminutive petals,
scatters volunteer bouquets over granular sand.
Noon winds turn, carry a sweet suggestion
of blossoming alyssum's burgeoning musk.
I tenderly transplant symbolic germinations,
colonize bare beds of a possible poem.
Within a week, alyssum invades every inch,
transforms granite words with flowery scent.
