Little White Stars


 The ferny-leaved stems grew all summer until they covered the fence in a delicate green blanket. Then one day, small stars began to open, a few here and there. They don’t form clusters. Instead, they scatter themselves, becoming daytime stars in a green sky. They are not showy, just a small interruption in that swath of green. Just enough to add punctuation to this leafy wall.
