the daffodil makes known its will  
do put me on a windowsill  
the sun should shine on me just so  
embracing me with loving glow

a mirror surely would suffice?  
you're neither rose nor edelweiss  
you can reflect and recollect  
I know there's nothing to perfect

don't tease me, you old garden god  
though you have plucked me from the mud  
the mud awaits your prompt return  
or is your choice a Grecian urn?

it's prickly, my daffodil  
I put it on the windowsill  
and watch the sun; its loving glow  
embraces me, from head to toe
