1.

Seed underground, out springs
from its blueprint a flower, scented

ruby rose climbs out of sepal’s protective stem
connected to this stable base, her petals

wrap independently side by side
as time and wind, tear them apart

2.

molecules interlink like magician’s rings, transform
from bound to free to bound to free

travel dimensions, mutate from
mind into body into mind into body

sparkle in space flash and slowly disperse explode
into sight out of sight into sight out of sight
