Frost on Showy Goldenrod
“The sculpted flower spikes of Showy Goldenrod create a spectacular show. The foot long golden wands add a distinctive flourish to the autumnal prairie landscape. Solidago speciosa blooms August – September and is an important late season nectar source for butterflies and other pollinators.”
Today's news is long sleeve shirt, ski vest, sneakers
and socks
gloves, hat, hood over that, and still
I'm chilled
air fresh on my cheeks, pleasantly bracing
The cell phone battery, damp and cold, weakens quickly
goes to black, here now
I am with the mist of the river rising
like everything rooted still in bloom
glazed with frost
