Guess what this is? I really enjoy closing in on macro and then going in even further, to make the colors blend and turning into sort of an abstract.
What is it?
I bet someone guessed what it is!
Hibiscus
by
Linda Pastan
How brazen
yet delicate is this red
hibiscus,
torn last winter
from a Florida pavement, weed
among smouldering weeds.
You wrapped it in brown paper,
hid it
under your airplane seat.
Now it trumpets
its honky-tonk
song
here
in a northern
window
and scorches
our chilly
mornings
with stolen
tropical
light.
From Heroes in Disguise (W.W. Norton & Co., 1991)
Hope y’all have had an awesome day! Seems our computer probs have been fixed, mostly, so yea! It was a good day!! Y’all rest well t’night, k?
