Inspecting my Bunker

I have been inspecting my bunker today:
Sunflowers are at their posts, saluting the sun
Bright butterflies pat down the marigolds
And deem them safe for a pass-in-review

Zinnias in happy colors riot along the fence
A perimeter keeping the puppies safe inside
(But an easy path for a ‘possum gourmet
Each night on his tasty tomato raids)

No concrete here, no iron, no clanging doors
No darkness – for this
                                       is a celebration of Light
