Today the first bud opened
on the potted Plains Coreopsis on my windowsill
that has been there since late October,
and grown a lot taller, reaching in vain for sunlight
The sample from the
beginning of January
is from outdoors:
the last one
from the New Lawn.
Cut by the cold
at ground level
leaves still green
stem rotting
- dissolving
in slime
Coreopsis tinctoria
Tigeröga i november och i juni
