Rice Paper Blossoms – v7

Dying crocuses

white, melting

glorious in their fading

drying, as parchment

becoming transparent

in the mid-day sun

Like rice paper blossoms

or ones of thin crepe paper

wet so as to be transparent

see-through, open

dying ever so graciously

at the foot of the cross
