4

Lint blown from the laundry:
felted blue magma, white sun, brown thread
hides a swirl of red,
soft clump,
bloodless. [a]

5

Apple
greats the cyclers:
white petals and yellow stamens,
fragrant spokes
that survived yestermorn's cold
will set fruit
in the warmth of tomorrow's. [b]

6

A tulip petal clings to its stem,
tattered red,
black at its base
its usefulness spent.
Gently remove its bruised silk finger.
Do not snap the stem.
