Bearded Penstemon Wildflower — Computer Art by kenne
You
missing, bone
hard the trees
seep their white
bloom through stem,
tendril, leaf.
And your beard:
light curling
through the sweet,
dark hair, all
blossoming.
How far do
these white clouds
reach, from here
to that place
you are now?
— from “Poems from Paradise” by Windy Barker
