Faces of the season

Keep the window ajar

Invite the ripe inside 

Invite words to ripple & flow

Chlorophytum comosum

Yes, spider plant.
Yes, the backdrop is red.
To be specific, a red journal
& yes the words are waiting to appear.
Yes, they will be as sure
& steadfast as time.  Vibrant as red.
Precise as haiku.  Tenacious
as plants.  Words edible as the ripe
which appears on your dinner
plate.

Enough

Can't get enough of the ripe & juicy.
Can't get enough of the ripe & the rooty.
Think of tubers.  As varied as the voices
of poetry.  As varied as the offerings
at a farmer's market.  Perhaps, this post
should be reposted, "Celebrate."
