Petals have calloused her hands, brightly colored crepe paper:torquoise, yellow,magenta,which she shapes into large blooms for bargain- hunting tourists who see her flowers, her puppets, her baskets, but not her-small, gray-haired woman wearing a white apron,who hides behind blossoms in her stall at the market, who sits and remembers collecting wildflowers as a girl, climbing rocky Mexican hills to fill a straw hat with soft blooms which she'd stroke gently, over and over again with her smooth fingertips.
