A poem found a home!
Night Roses
Night roses are better
than day blossoms—
unable to dazzle with
petal frill and flush,
sunlit senses must trade
eye light for the silk-soft
brush of shape in the dark,
perfume stirred sweet
by evening shadows,
and the quiet flutter
of flower bodies in time
with the twinkle
of starlight.
