Letters to the Bat
Cutflower
by Rebecca Lu Kiernan
I bring tiger lilies
To the grave of my beloved.
I bring the night
So inverted blue-black bats
Can watch from the goddess willows.
I bring an unexpected breeze
So the bluebells and wolfkiss orchids
And the dragon’s head violets in the field
Will shiver at their luck.
