Bougainvillea

January 15, 2026 · Poem 4 of 112

I watched her hair catch fire On the promontory. My heart burns in the twin chestnut flames Cascading off either side of her face. Dual elevens shimmer Across the purple-orange gemstones— Bejeweled bougainvillea as the sun goes down In the reflection of her eyes. Let's take that drive up the mountainside, A prelude to the ocean night.
