In the whole garden
like screens of green
plane of green
rising into the morning sun
a single poppy
more ornate, fuller, larger
as if a shower puff,
overlapping petals
a singular color, melting
salmon steak and orange sherbet
richer, softer
crepe paper ribbon bloom
drinking in the light
a single red-orange
against a sea of green
