Mum's crocuses

Mum’s crocuses
She’s planting fifteen years this spring
our sort of fate in a fairy ring

crocuses, and snowdrops’ jizz
then later foxgloves touch the dirt.

Bluebells blinking in the shade
observe the ladies walk to church

for this year’s spate of funerals.
And even now she plants us all

three pots of bulbs

in the loosebox til the spring

purple clits in a purity ring
