by Aqua

As dusk falls,
the leaves gently close and fall asleep.
Your gentleness, too,
breathes softly in the quiet night.

In early summer, a lot of peach stamens gather and hemispherical flowers bloom. In the evening, I will sleep the leaves together. Although it is a leguminaceae, the flowers do not have the butterfly shape unique to the legume family, they are alternating with even number of feathered compound leaves. When dried, the bark turns into a herbal medicine called gouganhi, which is used as a back pain or sedation agent.
