A Flower To Auroville Mother-74
Grand crinum lily(Poison Bulb, spider lily,
Crinum asiaticum)
On a platform of leafy straps
As if monitoring the world
Strong on stems you're vigilant
Spiderheaded as if oozing brain
Out in neuron ribbons efferent
Ready to capture any heart easily
In gentle jiggles you shudder
Created quantum of toxin bewares
Flipping out stamens red at times
Yet flaring ribbon-tepals white
Caught in cosmic tranquil traps
