the various V’s

settle down in the long light

smile, and hands. Nana

I see your columns

together in flight and tree

ever evolving

I think that you might

pull me to that single point

charcoal to paper

sometimes your anthers

silences itself only

days, loops, through the years

you swept over me

bring brown creepers to focus

a painted earful

I wish I knew how

as a Bee is to flower

envelope my eyes

hoya of Nana

sprout from every atom

the ultimate hug

I long for language

of warm coffee in my cup,

astonishing — bloom

what once brought me joy

orchid blooming for a year

to root yourself in

some of these rivers

smell, taste of being awake

just remove the load

little hummingbird

to remind me of your laugh,

astonishing — bloom

an insane loudness

when overwhelmed with beauty,

joyful perfection

the mind of a child

but drops — collecting, dripping

orientation

this small white primrose

the silhouettes of anthers

clouds gather to speak

you turn towards the light

such precious time in this life

view of this wonder

I breathed alder air

from any doubt or sadness

charcoal to paper

your feet hold freedom

a ball of a peony

and still fall so short

look up — perspective

rotational symmetry

trailing a mother

just for a moment

the raw transforms to beauty

iterated views

twisted growth, out, up

get lost in thought and dream big

in this existence
