I was waiting, I suppose-
for the war to be over;
I wanted to have all the time in the world to spend
watching your leaves grow to shed their silvery sheen
small white flowers curling like a murex
purpling the arbor, the orchard
with their slow and spreading shade.

I liked this poem. In large part b/c I'm always looking to learn new words and Murex was a new one for me. I liked that the term murex sounds kind of scientific. I also like how even though the poem is short it still 'moved' slowly when I read it.
