the sunflower stretches up, /
renouncing the Earth.

The sun
Rising to the sun, /
sunflower reaches skyward, /
into its future.

Withered bouquet
Withered, the hang. Brown /
cenotaphs of somewhere. Death’s /
sunflower bouquet.

Color
Etched against autumn, /
Butterfly and sunflower /
Hold to summer’s bloom.

Remains
Dead sunflower head, /
ashtray for the shells left by those /
feasting on your life.

petals like flaming rays, glow /
bright and embracing.

Shroud
Shrouded sun; rain comes. /
Rills flow to petals’ edges. /
Sunflower’s sun drops.

Brown grass crunches with each step. /
Summer’s sere whisper.

Sunlight shadows sunflowers. /
Cicadas sing dusk.
