Pink confused with white
flowers and flowers reversed
take and spill the shaded flame
darting it back
into the lamp’s hornpetals aslant darkened with mauvered where in whorls
petal lays its glow upon petal
round flamegreen throatspetals radiant with transpiercing light
contending
above
the leaves
reaching up their modest green
from the ***’s rimand there, wholly dark, the ***
gay with rough moss.
