Looped with a
necklace of narcissus,
a braid
a circlet
a trace of thorns.
Sprig of gillyflower
white
violet torque.
Dragonfly torch
masking a gold coiffure.
From an open lawn
Brittany asphodel
thrushed aubepine
raped to tiny raisins.
Wrists loaded with white veronica
angelica
and
cercis
harebell
and
thistle
a palmfilled powder of snowtops
lemon daisies
and wild mint
and from
a nest
of campanules
she broke
a single stem
a bluebell
for his breast.
