“Tiger lily”

Tiger lily

As summer rain falls, /

the tiger lilies display /

their spotted beauty.

“Tiger lily”

Tiger lily

No, Mr. Baker,

it is not an

invasion.

It’s a Tiger lily.

The invasion comes

a few days

later

with beer and

outdoor cooking.

That’s when

the aliens

—grill your meat

—light your fireworks

—conflagrate and celebrate

your auto-da-fe future.
