Jasmine flowers exhale
perfume along mossen lattice sanctuary
We smell the sweet sighs
but only bumblebees hear
the oxygen escape their silken throats

Very anthropomorphic
anatomically absurd and great write.
It leaves a feeling of insane tropics.
I hear bees with elephant ears enjoying
an atonal symphony of oxygen
escaping non-existent lungs
of Jasmin plants,
the sweet smell confined
in the moss-lined tiny space.
Is it imavinary or real?
Something in between.
