six pointed petals open up wide
reveal yawn of yellow
pocked with brown freckles toward the center
where stamen stand out attracting bees
together they waver in the wind
in front of house
and provide a profusion of colour
twenty yellow suns
don’t look too closely though
at the holes in the stem leaves
and the red beetles that are chewing them
intent on destruction and darkness
