"Planting Nasturtiums"
 


 

                                       I will plant nasturtiums soon,
                                       roll the little skulls
                                       between my fingers 
                                       and bury them in an inch of soil.
 

                                       The dead will rise,
                                       a chorus in red crinoline,
                                       all their green arms
                                       offering all those orange flowers.
