Daffodils, Gilded with Sunlight

By lupus tenebrae

Daffodils; petals
glisten with dew, snow-white
shards seized by the wind;

flurries gilded with sunlight,
flitting, cut free of their stems.

A tanka I'd written on the inside of an Easter card, pretty much the B-side to "Brushwork in the Bridgeport Eve".
