"flowers will save the world" (or the things we don't know we need to know)

 













Take me there ... 

to a land between two rivers

of rubles & tremors

lies a fertile valley wide 

mountains to each side 

tower to a blue sky undisturbed  

flowers grow here in the Fergana Valley 

flowers grow; 

the crepe myrtle

euphorbia milii

china rose & kalanchoe

pomegranate cotton

oleander

trumpets flowers & cotton 

four-o'clocks & marigolds 

buttercups

tulips

poppies 

flower carpets unroll 

from the chul, tau, adyr & yaylau 

flowers grow in a valley tucked in .... and we didn't know this before this moment 

take me there
