Peony!

 

Ah!

The scent!

Peony!

Ginger sweetness

Invades my nostrils

Ants, bees, I, all called to

The olfactory altar

Deep within ruffled rainbows are

The yellow-powdered nuggets, manna

For Lillipution, six-legged kingdoms.

    I read these two lines together: “The olfactory altar/Deep within ruffled rainbows ” Maybe I shouldn’t have, but I did and they struck me. Thank you. xoA
