naked branches
of the frangipani
bud with blossoms.
frangipani blooms
litter the temple walk.
sound of sweeping.
bougainvillea &
gold trumpet grow together:
one tree, two personas.
a pair of blossoms -
all that's left on the tree:
two blooms - side-by-side.
yellow petals drop: on the lake: washed together; on the ground: spread out.
fallen blossoms
carpet the ground,
mottled by sunlight.
twisted petals of frangipani blossoms stay one when dropping.
red blossoms
in the understory,
briefly catch the sun.
flower-laden tree:
when next we meet
will be bare.
morning frost melts with early rays of sunlight. primrose buds slacken.
