Lotus/ Fringe: A digital illustration by 7MB
A bittersweet blossom, a flourish of life, and the magnificence of death are manifest through a flower - the lotus.

On the leaf,
sediments of dispersed days
In the floating shadow,
a recollection of being

Hovering above
amidst strands of resin air
is a cut across time
A bumblebee strumming distance

Across the wind,
a leaping anxiety
wafting bubbles in my mouth

Above the eyelid
restlessness
beneath which the blue iris sinks
tethered tides in its osmotic sea
