Any Given Moment

 
Flora

 

 


In those words I am laden with flowers,
abundant with being, bacteria.
In those descriptions I am a garden,
something fragilis, something elegans.
A gracious host as if a hay infusion
that could be producing a meadow:
buccal, intestinal, beautiful in the light.
And how in my plenty I might gold leaf America,
or dismantle my roses to throw.
