Smoke Blossom

Winter blossoms hide in the smoke.

I remember more than this existence allows for.

It’s all just smoke and bones she said. I turned to respond but she had never been there.

We carry out the necessary rituals but we can never meet. Leaves and magic circles.

Drawing patterns in the stones. Rituals to find grounding in nature.

The evolution of the starfish teasel.

Reflected and ephemeral.

Fading like smoke but I shine like a star.

Creating patterns from chaos to enable the chaos inside to subside.

Creating patterns from nature. Imposing order where none belongs.
