orange

favorite shirt never worn
the sun just before it goes to bed
lily lies beneath the window
breast of bird who is my friend
the earth in Arizona
jewels that hang from trees in Cali
fungus that seems to ooze
little prolific poppy
no rhythm could speak your truth

    liked the imagery and how you could always reflect back on the title to have it all tie in! :-)

    i saw the title and your photo,was transported to a coffee shop,you were standing behind me,i made a comment to the cashier and what you said blessed me.it was my hope of heaven shining on us,all of us.
