3 Perfect Poems for May
Gotcha! There’s no such thing as “Perfect,” except for you. You’re perfect.
1. “May-Flower” by Emily Dickinson
Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.
2. “May” by Alex Dimitrov
3. “Late Spring” by Victoria Chang from “The Trees Witness Everything”
Does spring start grieving
in April or May? Once each
spring, the girl appears
in the white house behind mine.
The window opens.
The girl paces, phone to ear.
One day I look up,
the girl is gone, window closed,
and I go back to dying.
