A Firefly in the Poppy
A red poppy that dressed itself in silver and now guards something green and glowing.
Shh, the centre isn't awake yet.

Red wasn’t enough for it, so it put on silver along the edges too. The petals are all folds, like a handkerchief crumpled into a pocket in a hurry. And deep inside something glows green, as if a firefly fell asleep there and nobody dares to wake it. I modelled the poppy from clay and painted it. It sits on its pin and keeps the quiet for her.
