nasturtium

World Within A World

the garden
abstracted by rain
a new understanding of interconnectedness

an opera
of orange
sung by nasturtium

humidity gathers
casting its wet web
across everything

in the deep end
of color
oranges give way to light

the colors
sang an aria
cantata of the garden

beauty lies
in the fine lines
and twinkling of crinkles

beauty’s wisdom
form follows function
abstraction of nasturtiums

Trojan warrior of the flower pot
with shield leaves and blossom helmet.
Slayer of slugs, pepper is your arsenal.
