Too much strangeness in the air,
And the air is cold.

Chrysanthemum fuschia marigold lobelia begonia hibiscus frangipani poppy

                                Some unnamed wildflower
By the side of a mountain path

Earthly connection with
Color and narcissistic
Flour-

Manna from heaven

Zen man

And poets
Flutter
And trill
