My 12/07/25 postcard is a Red Hesperaloe seed pod, its split shell revealing pale interior walls. The outer skin, once a bloom, now shows reds turned to rust and wrinkles like aged parchment. What remains feels sculpted rather than spent; it has already finished its business, but still insists on being seen.
