Still
"Even as you float
on panicked waves find
the caress of a thousand
petals softening you still."
Ode to the Sunflowers my Dad bought for me
"You –
yellow in 5 Acts,
yellow in division to make up a whole
– belong to the morning"
On my white window ledge
'Now I see them yield to the light, papery and, with old age, translucent.'
Hard Pressed
Why do I need to pick
those flowers that are screaming, “I am alive!” to kill
between
the pages of a heavy book?
