have to cut your toenails
when they start to stab
through your socks is
often a red flag a bad sign
but how can you complain
about the magic yellow carpet
of fallen Palo Verde flowers
under the Palo Verde tree
the bark is green as asphodel
but the bloom is blazing yellow
and in the late afternoon
when the sun is setting
at the end of the street
that last light flows through them
there on the ground
so they bloom a second time
but now no earthly thing
