Mother’s Day

Echinopsis Oxygona

The Echinopsis’s delicate, one-day bloom usually occurs around Mother’s Day, reminding Robbin and I how each of our mothers showed us the way.  

Happy Mother’s Day!

SOMEONE’S MOTHER

Pot with bullet holes
blooming but one day in May
for someone’s mother.

as the hills turn brown again
around Mother’s Day.

ECHINOPSIS AT DAWN

Not a shadow without light,
brief morning flowers
from the blackest night.

Our short moment at dawn
from a long evolution
of spine and bone.

With basic implements,
wear a morning burst of pink
for Mother’s Day.

Bud and bloom, flower
for a day, then sigh—
a man needs many cacti.

Cactus night bloom braves
the sun, but only one day—
for mothers in May.
