nature

My euphorbia;
Endangered Madagascar;
Here, you live-on.

Night turns into day;
Shadows transform into wings.
Flowers into words.

Warm salamander,
You were faster than the rest,
But not fast enough.

Easter And; a poem by Donald Levering, from Horsetail, and reprinted in Previous Lives.

Specimen dahlias at a client's yard.

Dahlias are octaploids (eight pairs of like chromosomes (just like the Acipenser genus of sturgeon)), each chromosome housing many transposons (segments of DNA which can move around in a chromosome).

I always wonder what these little creatures are saying and sharing amongst themselves as they cluster, and flow like liquid atoms in some ephemeral molecule across the surfaces to which they cling.

We see only light
Reflected; each thing does hold
Some light kept to love.

Trapped in the restroom,
I helped you set yourself free.
Appropriate move.

Imagination.
I could not but help myself:
You were my baby.
