yellow & blue

























at its upper limit
the mountain pansy
viola lutea
rooted in uncertainty
is blue and yellow
briefly



to remember it
is to visit it
again in thought
to lean
closer in
briefly



glamour stands scrutiny
the world is sonorous
spacious and chromatic
fragrant, formidable
responding to the touch
