Flowers of Winter

Hill follower, sun rose, much milk
Twisted thread, dew robber, ragged robin
Sad poor stitchwort, mouse’s ear
Fairy woman’s flax, yellow swan
Fly King, red wound healer, summer bloom
(So far away)
Sourock, sun broom, sookie,
Mouse peas, crane’s pod, earth sap
Useful giant, wave plant, grass rag,
Little frog, shell bright, earth smoke
Shore dainty, blue lad, the fearful 
Black thorny one,
Thorn trees on every side,
All sleeping under this weighted white 
Blanket

Exiled Gael, scion of the Dust Bowl, dweller within Divine Grace, admirer of mountains, I have made my peace with trout and the starlings. Looking for a river and healing trees. duncanmacduncan5@gmail.com
