purple petunia bedecked
in royal gown with lacy hem
tiny dark veins embroider
the soft lavender petal
a painter’s delight, indeed
yet, I’m deterred from
my mission as
whirlybirds swirl, landing
in my hair soon joined by ants
who crawl up my legs
in steady formation.
bug species unidentified
saunter bravely on my paper
adding signature text to wet
paint, becoming martyrs
to my process
of painting outdoors.
