Passion and Other Flowers
Spread plum the Passion Flower
postures by her bed in a shot glass
Morning finds closed petals
A decade ago the woman's
husband left They made love
then he was gone forever
In the yard Passion Flowers bloom
each petal caressed by the sun
their violet vivid against concrete
Her lover probes in whispers
With kisses she unfolds
Sundown eclipses lavender
Another bud opens
