Frank Diamond
Outside the bay window This gift to my late wife Given to her by her sister Years ago plopped in a hole No bigger than a shovel scoop Man, has that thing grown Cardinals sometimes peck the branches Pulling berries from icy weaves And my late wife’s wonderment Gentles me down corridors of dreams
