in early morning's crepuscular light
the Jerusalem artichokes  glow like
10 foot sunflowers
nodding above tubers
that will wax tasty after frost
but now, afternoon, and especially morning
bright yellow flowers
stand above everything else

With weed trees cut (they grow more than a foot a week in this climate), the Jerusalem artichokes (a tuber/sunflower) are the tallest things in the garden.
