7.22.19 / 9:08 a.m. / 77 degrees by John L. Stanizzi

Pre-rain, and several flowers brand new to me have
          emerged; the fringed

orchid, the marsh marigold, and the bittersweet

nightshade. Heavy rain is forecast for most of
          the day and these small

delicacies, these tiny flowers will reap the
          benefits, their faces upturned and waiting.



John L. Stanizzi’s books are Ecstasy Among Ghosts, Sleepwalking, Dance Against the Wall, After the Bell, Hallelujah Time!, High Tide – Ebb Tide, Four Bits, Chants, and Sundowning.
