Cactus Flower (springing desert)

Spring is different in the desert. It happens earlier, as does summer, and summer+. Plants that don’t look like they will exhale beauty amaze, like people who don’t look like they will exhale beauty amaze. The shadows of the spikes on the petals tell you something.

Cactus Flower

The rare rains have come and gone.
Only in the first hours of the dry sun day
splendid petals unfold then hide.
Catch them capture them
with words brush or camera?
We are as arrogant and grateful
as they are beautiful.
