From my shattered vase
I draw one brittle shadow
to burnish morning.

Thin ice fades at dawn—
I tremble with one blossom
clinging to the bush.

still the red cactus blossoms
mine the deep waters.

Morning Glory

Morning glory
 
Wayside morning glory, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
 


in my wooden bowl
a lone dewdrop at daybreak
morning glory tea
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
eccentric garden—
a single morning glory
tangled in my heart
