Poems can be tricky.
POLLEN PALMS AND WINDS
Every garden flower dies; lives anew from single seeds.
Rice, silk and drapes: traced
Influential lotus leaves
Across Pacific, waves and waves away--ahead
Learning to step each
Clear and cloudy dawn, to think--
You may
Return one summer day,
Awaken the frozen cells of living
Mourning glories; grace understood.
Coda:
More answers reversed: you cannot live alone. I
remember & erase.
Every garden flower dies; lives anew from single seeds.
Rice, silk and drapes: traced
Influential lotus leaves
Across Pacific, waves and waves away--ahead
Learning to step each
Clear and cloudy dawn, to think--
You may
Return one summer day,
Awaken the frozen cells of living
Mourning glories; grace understood.
Coda:
More answers reversed: you cannot live alone. I

I love this because of the yearning mood
and the line "awaken frozen cells of living" though i don't know what it means.
And mourning glories. is it really mourning glory? i always thought it was morning glory. i like the way you use it, any how.
And i like the coda and that it has a coda.
