The Descent of Winter: 11/2

Mary Swanzy, Woman with White Bonnet

   Dahlias——
     What a red
       and yellow and white

   Mirror to the sun, round
          and petaled
       is this she holds?
       with a face
     all in black
       and grey hair
       sticking out
     from under the bonnet brim
   Is this Washington Avenue Mr. please
           or do I have to
         cross the track? 


(W.C.W.)
