Petal by petal (cummings with a rose)

petal by petal

your slightest look
easily will unclose me
though i have
closed
myself as fingers,
you open
always
petal by petal
myself as spring
opens
(touching skillfully
mysteriously)
her first rose.

About Martha Phelps Studio ~ creative on purpose

...a meandering journal of a changing life and the unexpected graces it brings. Earlier posts may provide some history, but this series of writings aren't likely to follow a straight line as I explore topics such as raising kids, making choices, self discovery, the impact of change on a family and how to (hopefully) live with balance and purpose. www.marthaphelps.com
