succulent – Leaf And Twig

Music In Your Name

portulaca, portulaca
so much music in your name
to say it is to sing

the garden
tiled in succulents
a resounding repetition

hens and chicks
multiplying themselves
hue after hue

poised by the window
in her shimmering succulent cape
begonia as a rosebud

all growth
is a flowering
this is joy

green mosaic
masterpiece
of pieces

shaboom
she blooms
succinct and succulent

Perfection appears
in a tangle of winter’s residue.
