ROSE GENTIANS
by Jeff Callaway
the color purple
in mosaic shades
of
rhetorical explosions
onto a page
grape grenades to grace
with such floral royalty
they animate
like raspberry ironies
my ivory blank
canvas erupts a
plum page
the petals swirling in lavender
articulate
like box fan blades
circulate
around their lemony centers
the yellow antennas to splinter
rose gentians in Spring
making me remember
everything
in all my lilac daydreams
deliver me
gold is nature's first green
with its livid imagery
these purple passages sing
the pollination of
a bumble bee
