Like a bloom of tongues,
tasting the fall air,
a shepherd’s hook of a milkweed plant
heavy pod drawn to the ground
hanging ready, ripe, ready to release
a clutch of seeds, held fast by the lips of the pod
hanging down, spread wide by the breeze
a bouquet of flowers, with silken stems
dark cocoa brown flowers
Ready for their release
into the wind
