The Flower: Grevillea buxifolia
This grevillea flower
is like a hairy Huntsman spider
lying up-side-down.
Delicate pink appendages,
fuzzed and curled,
make awkward question marks
from those posing bendy legs.
Will the next hairy Huntsman then,
seem a fuzzy flower
with curvy pistil tubes?
Perhaps...
if it is dead...
But, maybe that’s too sad.
It must be fun to run that way:
'BOO' it seems to say to me,
just to make me jump.
