the sunflower
catches warm afternoon sun,
but bees aren’t impressed.

the sunflower
catches warm afternoon sun,
but bees aren’t impressed.

weary sunflowers
turn their backs on the sun:
heads bowed.

flowers dip
under a bee’s weight,
but spring back.

abandoned building,
in the background, blurs:
eyes lock on flowers

there is no defect
in the sunflower that
cheers one’s spirits.

ginger blossom looks cleaner before the rain.
