FLOWERS / SOURGRASS

Beauty queen farmer
Aristocratic nose
Hands in the dirt
Fingering what grows
 
Velvet buds of hounds tongue
Let them open up
Pour the taste of cucumber
Into your glassy cup
 
And there’s calochortus tolmiei
Known as pussy’s ears
White and purple fur display
The morning dew like tears
 
Speaking of that’s what you’ll cry
From biting this one’s neck
A prickly and bracing spurt
Sourgrass- what the heck?!
