Flowers in Reverse

The breath of memory descends on root tips,
and from the soil sprout flowers inverted.
They do not seek the light, but excavate the depth,
blooming upward, past time’s threshold.
From earth to sky, petals open in reverse,
bearing a scent of memories that defy the days.
Each flower is a page reopening at the whisper,
and the air becomes a garden where memory breathes.
