Iris Valentine

Purple yellow bright and pale
What became of the hundred iris
I planted against the house
I forgot to tell them
Every three or four years
You have to be dug up
The failing ones discarded
The becoming ones replanted
Who will take a year to bear
The most vibrant colors
Or you can just abandon them
Let them grow their own way
Pressing out into the grassy yard
Come on years later in the ruins
