frilly and pink
between the rich and green
grafted and grown by your hands
warmed in the sun
given to me
gone but remembered
preserved in resin,
and memory
6/4/04 20:50 – About a special new breed of violet that my paternal grandmother, Jessie Foss, gave me when I was a pre-teen. I preserved the bloom in resin, which cracked because of the moisture in it.
