Happiness

               – Agnès Varda

Sunflowers start blooming everywhere. 
A woman carries a bouquet 
down the street. Black and white
photographs of them in magazines. 
Their centers droop dead in vases
surrounded by fallen petals. 

Overgrowth hanging 
from the garden bed. The sun
hot and ripe as an egg. While
the woods start to vanish, women
gather there with small children, 
making houses out of sticks.

Lucy Walker is a poet. She received her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and lives in Vermont. Her poems have been recently published in Bodega Magazine, PANK, and Hole in the Head Review.
