we run amongst giant trees
felling them for gains.

Unseasonal growth
bringing unsavoury looks
cold weather chile

Leads by example:
the flower first to blossom
amidst bush of buds.

Close up photo of the flowers of an aloe plant.

polished in hi-vis orange;
the healer, aloe.

Spider makes her home
between the grooves of cactus—
house plant becomes host.
