“ Sunny Borders “

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-

Sunny borders
native and non-native
blue-starred
multitudes of blossoms
blue spires
reminiscent of lupines
8 hours of sunlight
on sunny isles
of ironweed and sneezeweed
delicately filigreed leaves
miniature trees as living antiques
of beauty and majesty
aesthetically pleasing
air-layered soil and terrain
linking the present day
to thickset lemon-scented berries
atop gossamer webbing
tipped by wiry stems
silky seed heads
sun-drenched
rings and crests ...
