A Petal of the Mist

A petal of the mist fell on my tweed,

a fragrant shade of flowers of the hope.

My garden used to have the flowers’ scent.

A kind of dope. Defoliated now.

I used to pluck the flowers for the thrilling

and magic fortunes-telling. I conjured

for tenderness--devoting, holding breath,

awaiting for a miracle. In awe. So hopelessly.

Now, borders of the seasons all crumbled

and quickly disappeared in the helix

between the petal of the mist and scarp of hope.
