"Night drops on this town
like dirt at a funeral:
a few fistfuls at first,
then shoveled in and
stamped down flat."

As a first reader in submissions, I fell in love with this unique eco-story for @MastersReview 💚A doctor meets a client who deals with insomnia and memories brought on by unusually blooming corpse flowers. 🌺 Together they reflect on familial connection, history, and climate. 🌿
Under normal conditions, the flower can take a decade to bloom as it stores up tens of thousands of kilowatts of sunlight in its corm.

"Meanwhile the books will all
have been recycled and the paper pulp will be
used to insulate space-age homes on
open prairies where the wind gets up to
forty knots."
