Daffodil in the graveyard

Lynne Thompson
Apr 26, 2023

I pushed up through the moist Spring earth.

And turned my yellow face to the sun.

You call me Daffodil.

I hold in my body the dreams of those whose bones rest here.

I stretch to reach the sunlight.

My thick green leaves unfurl.

I am of this time and this earth, but I remember what the bones remember.

We hum together in the sun.
