Open 2021 Poems - Steve Lang
Orchid
By Steve Lang
Little angel
        With your diamond crown
        Bridal veil
        Pink slippers lurid
        Adder’s mouth
        Resupine
        All wanton inflorescence
        Labellum swollen fused
        In vanilla inner whorl 
        I will melt you will cry
        And down among the coral-roots
        Between the leopards and the swans
        The mirrors scorpions jewels and ghosts 
        Our column conjoins our clade
