A deep purple iris.. some
petals to soul infold
.. some
to world
unfold.. and not
til a day of
awesome power did
one see
that half of the bloom
was a royal
purple butterfly
.. not petals
but wings.
She
might have seemed
by work earthbound
but as she takes flight
or of a sudden alights
she is always free.
CLEAR CUTTING
Lawnmowing
.. a form of
clearcutting..
of the tiny,
the powerless,
the voiceless
(see SEACC website
for details on fighting
Alaska forest
clear cutting)
beautiful piece
