Lemon Tree
See how winter conspires
with the lemon tree for brightness
a slight concession of the season
against dark settings
so many small cold suns
crowd upon a green galaxy of leaves
beyond that hangs
the black heavy menace of a storm
later it will distil in drops
to glaze the yellow rind to gold
the snail slides from lush to verdant
on the permission of July
a silver promise that turns on the tree
a secret store of summer lights.
