her name is unknown

This plant resides alongside the gravel and dirt roadways of southeast Wyoming.

Her name is unknown.

Is she labeled a weed because her blooms scatter freely?

In this world,

blossoms scatter; yes–

but do bloom again.~ Inawashiro Kensai*

—

Blossoms scatter–

after hue and scent hinted

what was to come. ~Inawashiro Kensai*
