“Asiatic Daylily” — C.Birde, 8/17

On the languid summer breeze,

carried by the breath of trees,

I heard a rumor —

that if one is patient enough

and still enough

for long enough,

the diminutive and dainty

Asiatic Daylily

will alight in one’s

outstretched palm

and sing.

Well worth the effort,

for its pitch

is perfect.

— C.Bird, 8/17
