A photo of a purple morning glory flower. The pink inner folds of the petals form the shape of a star, and the center of the flower shines white like the sun.

a poem in two forms

every day an infinity.
every day a sunflower
bowed east. every day
a coronation of open
lips, new first breaths
bringing in the tide.
every day the death
of a morning glory
saluting a sun every
day burning new trees
on an old horizon.

A photo of a sunflower focusing primarily on the center of the flower, which is made of tiny, brown, bead-like structures.
