Things in my Yard

Irrigation drops on Kalanchoe














and Whiskers on Orthosiphon stamineus



















Silver white fern fronds that merge with Rosemary sprigs














These are a few of the things in my yard



I just smelled a shrub named Murraya













And suddenly my nose
will never be the same
All the beautiful smells of the world
in Murraya


Wait no wrong side of the yard
but still I don't feel so bad.


Now get that out of your head if you can.

Out there you use plain names for things

Like guava and papaya

But when it comes to fragrant flowers

They call Mock-orange Murraya

Murraya! Murraya!
They call sweet winds Murraya!
