Garden Wireless
HOW many feet ran with sunlight, water, and air? What little devils shaken of laughter, cramming their little ribs with chuckles, Fixed this lone red tulip, a woman's mouth of passion kisses, a nun's mouth of sweet thinking, here topping a straight line of green, a pillar stem? Who hurled this bomb of red caresses?-nodding balloon-film shooting its wireless every fraction of a second these June days: Love me before I die; Love me-love me now.

The speaker marvels at a single red tulip as both playful miracle and urgent signal. He wonders who set its exuberant life—sunlight, water, laughter—into motion and then reads the flower as a paradoxical mouth: sensuous and devotional. The tulip becomes a small, insistent broadcaster of desire, pleading for love and immediacy before it fades. The poem compresses wonder, eroticism, and mortality into a brief natural image.
