Sorrel

Arriving in Dalmatia, I Find My Garden Full of Pink Sorrel

--As identified in Blamey and Grey-Wilson's  "Wildflowers of the Mediterranean"

'Short.
Hairy.
Tufted. . .
With
Swollen
Rhizomes.'

Before I knew, I thought them
'Very pretty.'

Now I scarcely sleep at night
with them
outside my door.
