White and pink blossoms
after a cold March
on the magnolia
rooted seventy-three years
on its spot in the world,
since 1953, since Eisenhower,
Korean War, the echoing
coup in Iran,
Stalin, tanks against
protesters in Berlin -
so few, the years
circling the maelstrom,
so many, the flowers
returning with the seasons.
