A field of tulips
at peak bloom
in front of the US Capitol
in Washington, DC
begged to be painted.


A field of tulips
at peak bloom
in front of the US Capitol
in Washington, DC
begged to be painted.

This tulip
grew from
a powerful
seedling
with muscular
branches,
and hand-like
leaves,
and then
she looked at me
and laughed,
for she had
grown two lips
and she sang and
smiled.
