We grow wild beneath
the Red Tail’s cry
for company, beside
the dragging sound
of snake bellies
on well-drained dirt.
We fold our petals, sleep
to insistent tree frog songs
as the moon dances
upon the rippling creek,
mumbling constantly
of where it comes from.
And when we bloom,
we draw bugs as lovers
to inspire seed, clusters
of small town colors
beneath the Red Tail’s cry
for company.

Do you know which lupine this is John? I never see that over here…

I don’t really know, Heather. It may be Shaggy Lupine Lupinus covillei that comes in white and been observed around here according to Calflora.
