ruffled like a rose
she dreamed herself
into flower

a tomato
a fiery sunset
a vixen’s red lip wear
oh begonia you beguiler

at the meadow’s edge
so many kinds of rain

with the colors you share

a bloom forced
or better said
irrepressible

in the bedroom vase
she carried color and hope
all through the long winter

as the primrose buds
and blooms

an early gift

with blooms

with summer
bunched to take home

stay and admire

the clover and the dahlia
more similar than different
yet each particular to herself
Worn Wing
life takes
and yet the swallowtail
still flies
