Apologies

Thank you so much for the invitation but

I have to count the leaves on the three-leaf clovers

wrinkle the periwinkle, and

repeat the day's directions to the wind

(who never listens)

Before noon I'll have oiled the salamanders

sharpened the crickets' saws

and fluffed the hummingbird hatchlings

(I go through so many cotton swabs)

I have to arbitrate between the crows

who are forever pilfering each other's teaspoons,

draw dots on the tiger lilies that haven't any

and turn down the temperature in the spring

for the crawdad boogie tonight
