in this moment
between me
and Lorraine’s
pink camellia
Spring is perfect
its face made up
debutante fine
coming out
for the bee season
hear the buzz
in wattle’s chandeliers
I buzz too
on steroid’s limb
dandled like a madman’s puppet
me in autumn’s
crazed falling:
lost foliage
and wanting sleep
the camellia and I
skin to skin
remembering Lorraine
beneath a milksop sky
absolutely beautiful, Worms, from its jubilant opening to its soulful denouement; and the images — stirring, insightful
