Night Blooming Cereus

.. droplets of rain
.. on a flower that only bloomed at 10pm
.. attached to a spiky cactus [ yes, it hurt ]

.. always warned my neighbor that I'd be out there
.. the first year, I didn't tell her
.. she and her husband wondered 'who was outside their bedroom window at 10pm at night'

.. on a night like this, with no moon
.. carrying a flashlight and a camera became a balancing act

.. but worth it all
