"BIBLE,SHAKESPEARE,SEED CATALOGUES"


CHERRY MIST
Empty this IV. I am out of red.
Only clear white will open my siren night
Screen subtitles in the dark
Your love contrasts

TULIP RED RIDING HOOD
Snow flowers blood
Her cape abandoned
Wolf wants only innocence.

IRIS IMMORTALITY
Eye on the prize-
to outlive comparisons
Remember only this..

TULIP RED EMPEROR
Tang Dynasty in Squares
Now hang Tiannamen
Tanks squeeze the red
out of white flower flesh.

DAFFODIL BABY MOON
Spontaneous! Source of Light 
above and within-two orbs
guide our way home.

IRIS HONKY TONK BLUES
Piano roll me.Bar room easy
Cheap hotel with rooms .Empty
Blues fills the cracks.

DAFFODIL ACROPOLIS
Crumbling petals of once Grand Mansions
Standing to attention .Gardens geometric
translate back in to yards.

TULIP QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
Only moon monitors motion
She rises towards,then falls,abandoned
to grow new roots in old soil.
