At the edge of the gate,
the bougainvilleas blossom
just out of fingertip reach,
flaming in the afternoon sun.
But only minutes pass
before the brightest star sinks
and the fiery velvets dim,
just at the edge of the gate.

Thanks, Justine! And yes, they’re definitely flowering. I took the photograph the day I posted. 😀
