Here’s another ekphrastic poem from me (a poem that has a conversation with a painting), based on the Mackintosh watercolor mentioned below, but also on the peonies in my own Pennsylvania garden.

from the vagaries of wind and weather.
in the sun and drink kir royales.
You know you want to touch me.
I know I want to dance.
