Mercy
she screamed
in fog
demons of night
howled back
rain returned
lashing
deliciously
on the window
setting the mood
for banishing

pale cream hellebore that is on the way out.
and beautiful while it goes.

twisting.
ready to take a running jump
into the great beyond.

macrophotograph of a pale cream hellebore that has seen its best day and is nearly spent. dried purple stamens are visible too. a bright green leave at the very bottom of the frame, in the center. all against a gray background that shades to dark on the upper left.

one more from Mary Oliver:

As long as you're dancing, you can
break the rules.

Sometimes breaking the rules is just
extending the rules.

Sometimes there are no rules.

macrophotograph of three purple-edged clematis petals. in the background, a bright yellow green flower is glowing. they appear to be worshipping it. as they should be when put together with the Three Things to Remember of Mary Oliver's verse.

pink daisy petal nearly touching the lens.
caught up trying to catch the light and didn't notice it.
happy accident.

photograph.

macrophotograph of a white chrysanthemum that the sun lit up. green leaves to each side that fade to the dark background. a pink flower in the foreground, nearly touching the lens is out of focus and becomes simply a streak of color.
