oh the veil, the veil is tearing
the green lips of the bud part
her blossom is red

the enlightenment of the amaryllis
monday 18 february 02008 10:26am
maya, the amaryllis, and my life
thursday 12 january 02006 5:28pm
white petals, pink veins
before the blossoms die
the petals
become transparent
wednesday 4 january 02006 8:11am
the kitchen is cold today
fuzz in my toast
butter on my gloves
the amaryllis and i
are open
monday 2 january 02006 10:39am
white pot, brown earth, water
on the kitchen table
the amaryllis
sends from the heartbulb
a brilliant green stalk.
now, in the new year
rain falls
my heart is clean
blossoms
rise
toward the light.
