L'aura del Campo

Butterfly

Parrots in Amsterdam or was it Istanbul? Tulips all the same... and pink daffodils. Purple cherry blossoms in Taipei and cosmos in Zhunan. The flame-of-the-forest vermilion above the unrelenting green in San José in winter...

...where you met one boyfriend but didn't abandon the others.

Too much beauty to embrace in one short hour. How did one day turn into a week among the gardens of the Balkans, the marigolds of autumn gracing old stones in plots where bones long ago returned to soil.

The Living and the Dead.

You move between both worlds where sunlight urges you to make haste and nighttime begs you to rest. And what to make of the gossamer petals of poppies?

How you migrate from one flower to the next.
