My hand keeps moving
and out pours Dahlias
white laced
scratchy shadowed
full of drooping buds
about to burst with life
in inky eternity
out pours spiny stems
arching over sunken
leaves
veins swelling and
branching out
to sunlight
out pours secrets
my secrets and my
tragedies
my wishes and my pain
my father who never looked my way
and a bouquet of dahlias sent
in replace of a childhood
out pours dahlias and the pain
of now knowing
why you left me.
