Poems
Oct 27
In sympathy
I try to appreciate the flowers
Through heavy meaning
To note their beauty
Soft, soothing pinks
Clean, chaste whites...
Light lips and linen
Cool, curving petals
Straight, strong stems...
Ice cream and iron
Slick, satin ribbon
Mild, muted bow...
Preacher and flock
Tending, growing
Cutting, packing
Loading, driving
Sorting, bunching
Wrapping, tying
Lifting, giving
Offering...
So much life
Into this subdued
Tribute to its loss
