Dahlias

Into this time of year
the season of grief is folded
& placed on the nearby shelf

We feel the equinox tilt us
towards the summer sun
like a sick man choosing life again

Walking through an endless doorway
each etching different, each frame contiguous

Wild sorrow, blossoming
across the horizon
like a superbloom

& at the end, you say,
lies fire like dahlias
