Magnolia, Georgia O'Keefe
Long, feminine lines
Milky white and yawning
Acknowledge the morning,
Queen of the waxy green
The world lusts after you
Craves your ghost perfume
And you lounge, resigned, in the half light
Tending to your tenuous beauty
Yellow veins in the sun
Heaving and sighing,
In your supple envelope
Leading to the tower of jewels
Beckoning a vigil at your center
