Looking at it from indoors,
the sticks from the window improve the tree.
That is what art does.
—Robert Frost to Robert Francis, 1950
The window makes art
of his magnolia tree —
the man thinks quietly— at the start
of spring. Especially
now, the way morning light
shifts — in falling snow —
over new white
blossoms on each long bough.
