Hemerocallis Erotica by Nadine Sellers

            Open collar to russet pistils held aloft
            waxy perfection nestled in verdant plumes
            there a luminous flesh
            ivory striations follow the lip
            art of a sensuous brush
            swallow tongues of modesty
            flash a pale citrine blush
            curl the tongue of clarity
            upward to existential rush
            welcome dew of night
            well spent in pearlescent perfection
