It's late. I've come 
to find the flower which blossoms 
like a saint dying upside down. 
The rose won't do, nor the iris. 
I've come to find the moody one, the shy one, 
downcast, grave, and isolated. 
Now, blackness gathers in the grass, 
and I am on my hands and knees. 
What is its name? 

Little sister, my indigo, 
my secret, vaginal and sweet, 
you unfurl yourself shamelessly 
toward the ground. You burn. You live 
a while in two worlds 
at once.
