Beautiful! 🤍

„The window weeps my words

into abstract rivers,“ my favorite lines.

Your name “wildflower” fits well with the poem also.

Gorgeous visuals and thoughts. I love how you take the everyday, the overlooked and remind us it’s all miraculous.

Sanguine in her sagacity

She strips all semblance

Of sibilant suavity

So someone sure

Sees seas of sonorous essence

Reading this in the sunshine. The temperature has dropped a bit here. Wild poppies are coming up through the cracks in the concrete. Words and setting merge into one and it’s lovely :)

Sorry, wasn’t trying to rub it in about all the rain 😅 (usually that’s the UK).

Not at all, I was just feeling embarrassed that I didn't even clue in to your words and setting merged comment. I had begun pondering whether the poppies has pushed through, or taken advantage of the crack, and I know which one I'd prefer to believe.

As a member of the American Legion, we use poppies to emphasize peace and remembrance, and so Dusk’s poem also Reminds me of John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”.

“In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.”
