Wild garden

Talia Garza Hernandez

Elegy
I saw a poppy flower open, must be
at night when she imploded, another poppy
yesterday was alone, now both a trophy
made. They belong to a corner from this reign
of physical reality where the world is seeing
on its full crudeness, that’s the sense a wild
garden offer to us: silver worms treating
to feed, to watch a small flowers bouquet
being roughing for the flying bee, she jumps into
insignificant petals, the medium floral plant
carries yellow spots that at night showers
from heaven by dew miraculously posed
over this limbo where poppies and calendulas converge
making from this sacred space a wild garden.

About this poem

I attempted a sonnet, then I decided not follow a rhyme scheme.

      someday I want to get into that brain and see what's going on. I don't think it's possible.

      oh no is just practice, I try to write all days at least one page. No imitation and if I can I like rhymes in Spanish, although I love free verse I distrust enthusiasm about free verse, anyway I respect the right to write whatever a person wants.
