He never bothered to look through her flesh
He never cared to look past her
chalk powder face and rose petal extract rouge
Or the kohl that lined her shimmering eyes with the
fine,
charcoal,
powder
He never thought to ignore her petals
And dig to her roots
So when summer died
And her petals fell
He left her alone

So when summer died
And her petals fell
