walkabout, this afternoon, to find deep red with busy bee,

pale red with kanji characters,

poppy world full of self,

rising from a bed thought lost,

while yellow bush roses,

and blue fingers, which our maidens know by a grosser name,

showing some purple shared, in the same pot

or shared with satiny iridescence

shimmering around a black hole,

in purple waves

and glitter,


while at rows end, marigold companions
and almost a blooming leaf, twinning stacks climb orthogonally towards sun


and a tannish leaf kind of flowerish

all of which have names that are common
and the uncommon names are all scientific
