Beauty

Binds the oleander stump and the tiny Dolly Parton roses together

transfixed in the mind (of the poet)

Now, the flowers have dried

Who is the souvenir of whose beauty

 

 I was attracted to the beauty of a stump, doing hastha uttanasana pose of the sun salutation. Craning its neck, bent out, soaring into the sky, while the rose behind grounds you.

 

Leaves begin sessile

Dainty stems of rose

Thick stump of oleander
