a gardener disquieted

I once could call each bud by name,
stems all aligned and lashed
together to be counted and arranged.

Some set of wings gingerly beat,
caught my blessings flat-footed,

and no longer can
I enumerate
these fickle petals,
having been readily agitated
by the unrelenting
brightness of your soul
