The Round Garden

The cerulean river
veers its imperfect bights
through unbending 
rigidity of fixed earth.
My life's goal
as a square flower
of florid constancy
is still to thrive
in porcelain conformity
of a round garden.

Gorgeous image, Dale, and I like the paradoxical nature of the square thing being the flower.
