poetry: leaning lavender

go where sun meets
earth, under oak trees
warmed by summer’s
last breath. gather
my limbs, bundling
tight my fragility
and budlike body
until moon sighs
starlight, signaling
nature’s end of shift.
hang me by strings
near warm yellow
fabric until withering
i transform, forever
locked in wild
fragrant splendor.


*90/100: For the next 100 days, I’ll be writing and posting a poem every day. All photos are mine
