TOGETHER
a bouquet blooms with breeze’s brushing
one blossom succinctly separates as
an iridescent shimmer
to hum and hover before memory’s freeze
zinnias
once small seeds separated beneath earth
now raised to face fond friends
as held hearts
gilded gold, pearled pink
queen lime’s chartreuses
each scarlet centered
drawing dwarfish eyes
each glorious great lake summer
just outside mother’s planted pale-bricked porch
a beauty to behold
as a tower
as a maiden
with long rapturous locks let loose
rarely seen
feathers turned against sun’s rays
nectar sucked center turned heavenward
to glimmer
a glance
a glimpse
the two together
both hummingbird and zinnia bloom
