Forge On

Connected

by 
lapis blue
sashes and 
freshwater 
rose mallow. 
One way
flight
emerges
as
a gift of
return and
retreat. 
Hibiscus Bees 
and Orioles 
gave us
protective
growth. 
Allowance
given to 
the 
attacks of 
Japanese
beetles
feasting 
off 
wounded 
leaves.
Self-involved
looking glass
for the win. 
In true form
the crimson eyed
delicate
forged on.
