In the grip ofA Poem by Chris Shaw(little tango is the common name for a plant with tiny tangerine coloured petals)
little tango on the deck table
shivers from last night's frost, a spark of welcome brightness in my winter world, in a week cold, with farewells and sadness beside her are unplanted bulbs, i am promised one hundred days of spring flowers, one hundred days of vibrant colour if I bury them, if I confine them to darkness with a hope they surface and then, there is the packet of cherished forget me not seeds that i will save for warmer days so they will self seed and multiply, Jen's last request
