the bloom demures from view
what trust and courage it must take
to reveal the source of your enigmatic state
The Hollyhock Reserved
The Tree’s Topography
a map of life
the bark divulging
her valleys and mountains
Revealed
she turned
one petal down
revealing her mysteries
of gradation and form
Making Space
as leaves exit
a slow reveal
of stature and line
Fig Leaf
in an attempt
to cover the sun
more of itself revealed
Aging
time reveals
the structures behind
suppleness
Oak And Heuchera Juxtaposed
rain revealed
a still purple leaf
preserved by cold
Sun Gazer
unblinking
the most tender of petals
will reveal all
Unveiled
all of the intricacies
of the universe
unfold in the maple blossom
After the Bloom
Her color’s retired
the beauty of sparseness
revealed
