a Columbine flower,
a blazing reddish orange thing,
with heart of yellow,
a clustered tendril thing,
a green stem, impossibly thin,
springing from gray rocks
they
shiver, dance, and bow
to the will of the wind’s
mood
unlike its siblings and cousins
the Columbine
stares downward
earthward
not to the heavens
but hellwards
a lonely band of
rainbow
a tired, knowing flower,
among the forget-me-nots
how like the Columbine
i feel

Look up Columbine flower Alaska, they are beautiful. My writing should not impact your feelings toward Columbines.
