Black night around us

you slice into my dream

and I see zinnias:

exploding  fireworks,

vivid petals raining down,

Colouring our embrace.

        Sometimes I brainstorm words or phrases, and then the challenge is to connect them. Slicing into the dream was an image, and the most obscure thing I could think of was zinnias, and the first few lines sat there for a few days, and today the rest evolved…
