with her stamens
she motioned me closer
come admire my details
Amarylis Did
Yellow Before Orange
dreaming of wings
even
before the cocoon
Impersonations
the tree
a zebra
in green
Whale Back
black rock
breaches snow
leaf waves splash
River Wilds
leopard spots
zebra stripes
camouflage of ice
Best Effort
when flowering
is impossible
bloom your leaves
Shadow Bloom
backdrop of self
the play of light and shadow
a double bloom
First
among the many
only one is
first to bloom
Fashion
birch and sky
both wearing stripes
the fashion of the day
Collection
gathered
sunlight and stripes
abundance of gourds
Work Attire
soft as down
the bumblebee’s coat
silken fur of black and yellow
Apeiron
stripes of white
cut through
an infinity of blue
Stripes
Trees earn and cast
their stripes in winter
Fleeting Brown Zebra
the autumn landscape
wears fern’s stripes
like a zebra hide
Sunlight
Sunlight
tiger stripes
the pond.
