Do plants understand Daylight Savings time?
How much daylight have we put in the bank today?
In a sunny window my pet plants swell new shoots
Set next to last month’s Valentine tulips
They having spent 2 months in the bottom fridge crisper drawer
So to prompt dark dormancy
They’re naturally from the South
Seems coldier than yesterday
Sun three o’clock settier than yesterday
Cold nose runnier than yesterday
Clean shoots reaching for outside
Oh no, not yet little swells
Warm March lights belie frost nights
