Rice Paper Blossoms – v11

Standing in the breeze
under the cross
dying crocuses, glorious
in our backyard, the grasses,
glorious in their fading
becoming translucent,
afire in the mid-day sun

Like rice paper blossoms
worn-thin, a parchment,
a film, becoming transparent
as if made of thin phyllo dough
dying ever so gracefully
afire in their dying, glorious
at the foot of your cross
