of fairy clocks,
nomadic, wind riders
with flocculent manes, sage lion
dandies

Florescence Day 18

well, they’ve all gone to seed,
their balding heads, puff freed,
far from dandy, indeed, blown to hell

Florescence #5

oh how graceful they fly
on wings through the sky
as I watch them, I sigh from below

First Blooms – A Tanka

cultivated plots
are a gardener’s cachet
but Gaia’s first blooms
burst through concrete, cling to walls
vagabonds in dapper hues
