 * Maybe the conflagration is touched off each year / when the first matchhead of a crocus flares, / which no one ever sees, but here in the planter / on the railing is a white-throated sparrow, / looking ragged as something a chef / just threw in a rage at an exhaust fan, / a peabody bird bathing in icemelt, / sending its golden droplets up as though / seeding the sunlight, not a crocus yet in sight.
