Iris Open

article image placeholderUploaded by @KarlaVanVliet
Iris Open by Carla Van Vliet irises open their tight blue hearts in a day. This is how I remember it, the dark of birth unbolts like thunderclouds or starlings breaking and air. This is how the heart breaks not into pieces, but blue tongues, a kind of grace in this disregarding world. Blue tongues and at their center a yellow star

This was beautiful. I really enjoyed the last line of the yellow heart in the middle. Thank you so much for sharing
