The epigraph from Auden takes on predictive meaning. His poem said that words should be with-held from flowers and birds because-quote.

Shahzia: Yes. Signal poem about mother's sudden death. Did replant garden. Discovered she had saved my college poems, therefore-

interesting poem with a gradual movement...1st stanza is rich in promises n tall claims....beautiful anti-climactic ending....with a heightened effect...

the seeds to start a garden of words where love and promises, keep. I like the poem and its flow.
