Lupine season


It’s lupine season at our local lighthouse, 
And their lemony stalks are everywhere, 
 Lining the walkways and framing the vistas 
With their delicate scent.
 I’ve never been a big fan of yellow, 
But yellow roses and yellow lupines 
Make my heart sing 
Even as the harsher golden shades 
Of the ubiquitous scotch broom 
Make me grit my teeth and grumble. 
What is it about us humans 
That always wants to say 
That I like this, but not that? 
Why must we always divide the world?
