A new bloom
frilly and pink
between the rich and green
grafted and grown by your
hands
warmed in the sun
given to me, a gift,
gone but remembered
preserved in resin,
and memory
this gift of your hands

April Violet
About a special new breed of violet that
my paternal grandmother, Jessie Foss,
gave me when I was a pre-teen.
I preserved the bloom in resin,
which cracked because of the moisture in it.
