Springfold

Coil tight sheathed against late frost
Crocus curls stand armoured.
Aqua, canary, blood buds arrayed
Attending the melting, attending the flood.

Crisp springs of florid curtains 
Frailty dissembled, gaudy glue gaze.
Shoots as green as sea froth
Canvassing groundlay, cavorting with earth.

These flowers, the first of the 
Springfold, hocus/pocus/crocus
Cartwheels on the wormy gloam
Come alive with their ham act in broad way bloom.
