ODE TO DAHLIA

Dahlia
bursting in green
her shimmering petals
pour ever outward
in perfect radials
mathematical
and infinite
I explore
every subtle
shadow
curve
and line
diving
deeper into
the labyrinth of
of pure perfection
and design
Who
crafted
her flawless
symmetry?
Is it real
or
digital
trickery?
Mother Earth
laughs, then smiles:
I’ve had a billion years, you see,
to mutate and play
patiently.
Stochastic
is my grand design,
no need for planning—
only time.
