Even in my shady and neglected yard
Tulips are starting to smile,
Pink edges showing forth seductive lips
against their otherwise inscrutable green.
I know this feeling —
They won’t be able
to hold their laughs inside much longer:
They will burst out, bright color
suffusing them entirely,
No longer able, or willing
to hide anything —
Letting themselves go
with the sheer joy of spring.
