For the coming new year






 For the coming new year

In the turn of leaf, in the play of light,
the Segre tangles shoreline growth.
Burdock, fennel, birdsfoot and vetch.
All the wintered vegetation I don’t know.
In the unrinsed water, in the reeds,
the stolen word requires some gift—
briefly prepositional, best wishes
for the coming new year.
