parts in 3’s

Tendrils creep and twine

around my ankles.

bulbous and crisp-

corms pop between my fingers.

A film of dirt acts as a barrier  between

my skin and the world.

bright pink veins of the spring beauties

mimic,

my own. net venation.

parts in 3’s.

stamens exposed;

an invitation.

a short lived offering. A

plea. necessity.
