You’ve folded yourself so small, like you’re hiding something.
Are you waiting for light, or just listening?
I nearly missed you, tucked under the bushes, curved like a question.
What made you red, when the others stayed green?
You don’t need to answer.
We can just appreciate you as you are.
Please zoom in and zoom around, this is a macro stacked image. I contorted my spine into a pretzel while placing my camera on a towel and waterbottle as a makeshift tripod to document this tiny but so intricately detailed plant barely 10 centimetres high.
