Female Orchids

Female orchids blossoming in the shadows of the sun
bittersweet their secrets hidden in tall grass
uncut
unkept and unwatered
only the crosswinds carry their sweet scents
their seeds
their dreams and their wishes deep into the folds and creases way down deep between the blades of grass
underneath the dying grass
underneath the dead grass
pitted in the soil
where tomorrow's orchids wait
where next week orchids wait
where the next month orchids wait where next years orchids wait
where next season wait to blossom
