    Default Midwinter in the Palm House (CTG)

    Midwinter in the Palm House

    Outside, it is snowing; a lone robin grubs
    for millet seeds on the cement path.
    Inside, it's steamy, banana plant fronds
    stretch to the roof, platforms for monkeys.



    Water blinks like an eye in a purple bromeliad;
    bee buzzes trapped in nectar of a pitcher plant.
    We explore musty forest of mosses and ferns,
    hidden niches with white catleya orchids, throated

    with speckled saffon. The snow melts on glass
    above us, but in here it is eternal summer.
    My hand presses yours; your thumb traces
    a hieroglyph on my palm.
