surreal music audio with spooky, coarse voices, singly or together announcing: ''roses stiff as bark
gardenias stained brown
dahlias of sharpened spikes threatening needle marks
irises weeping sticky blue tears
camellias their corollas swollen in black slashed tones
african violets stodgy hunks of colorless kelp
lilies shriveled to mere paper cones
squinchy petals underfoot emitting a sodden bouquet
merriment slayed by some wrongdoing along the way
dare the clouds above assemble in grace?
the sun in tranquil splatter
bless another day?"
