O’ Keefe, Yellow Flower

The sex of yellow, its pealed strife
and resin. Or how a specter, a sensual crumple
and crepe, butter-tongued, makes time
with a pair of honeyed tonsils, coercing
a holler, a yodel, aria raging blonde
over brood, the Belle’s Seduction,
tolled in the secret opera
through which the flower
praises and blooms.
