Blustering upward, /

dark below and light on high, /

mountain in the sky.

City

Green near, blue far back. /

Mankind’s river flows between /

concrete, trees, and dreams.

“Bowed”

Bowed

Discarded seed husks /

litter the sunflower’s back, /

its face bowed earthward.

Disc florets

Within the one, many. /

Disc florets bloom and then seed. /

New sunflowers loom.

The lock and chain /
