Foxglove

Cosmic eruptions from soil,

Pearlescent and arrestingly

Luminous in their novelty,

Supernatural filigree

Tantalizing and bending light.

New forms emerge to recombine,

Gemstone helix unwound

Along invisible magnetic lines

As if straining to meet the eye.

Watch them arc and sway

As rain fills each glowing cup,

Babylon towers brought to their knees

With the weight of Her sloppy, wet kiss.
