Bejeweled

Bronze soil, softened and bare
	Beneath sky stacked pillows
		Beckons the touch of green--					
			Beleaguered steps, I breathe
				Brushstrokes of tender heat
					Before my eye finds bloom
						Bathed in ruby blossoms


                                                                   August 16, 2016
