Smoke signals, would you c/c my poem?

Empyreal enchantress's
shimmer
in an obsidian
masquerade

The ocarina
soft
as babys breath
flitting through
untamed inflorescence

Questing
Questioning
through the light
of an amber ember
and smoke signals
exhaled


inflorescence best answer:

Answer by Lapiz Dominoes.
As always, the fair earth and elements
forming women - I get so tire of that `spare rib`myth -
this lovelier and more playful by far, a well as having the obligatory
Ancient best-of-the bests.
I think the title, and `exhaled` in such amorphous context, to be perfect, soldier.

Bomarea petraea #3

Alstroemeriaceae (formerly Liliaceae) - Peru
Bomarea
Shown: Inflorescence and foliage

"Bomarea is one of the two major genera in the plant family Alstroemeriaceae. Most occur in the Andes. Several species are occasionally found as garden plants.

"It is essentially a twining version of their relatives in Alstroemeria, though some species stand freely upright.

Perhaps the most fascinating — and telltale — morphological trait of most if not all Alstroemeriaceae is the fact that the leaves are resupinate: they twist from the base so that what appears to be the upper leaf surface is in fact the lower leaf surface." (Wikipedia)
