Dog rose
Heart-shaped petals curved like the lip
of a curling shell. A bell with a golden
tassel for a tongue. Cream upon cream
upon berries; swans' wings tucked about dawn.
A forest of radiant buttercups guarding
a hillock of magic lawn. Sunbursts
of rays translucent like water, gleaming
green as dew-drenched blades. Sweetness
of dusky moth-light scattered at noon.
Rebirth of blossom in green-apple time.
