Deon Venter - Highway of Tears - 2009

On roadsides,
in fall fields,
in rumpy bunches,
saffron and orange and pale gold,
​
in little towers,
soft as mash,
sneeze-bringers and seed-bearers,
full of bees sand yellow beads and perfect flowerlets

and orange butterflies...

Opening lines of Mary Oliver's Goldenrod.
This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready
to break my heart
as the sun rises,
as the sun strokes them with his old, buttery fingers

and they open --
pools of lace,
white and pink --
and all day the black ants climb over them...

Opening lines of ​​Mary Oliver's Peonies.
