Petals MAG
June 21, 2015
A blessing in disguise or a curse upon
a platter?
I tried to find a reason but the reason
didn’t matter
As I searched my soul lurched, cartwheeled across the table
I find myself swimming, drowning more than I am able
A poplar tree plays like rough ocean waves in the wind
The grass is getting weary, more gray as
I begin
to find pieces in my eyelids, in cabinet
drawers across the room
The most dangerous of poisons were
your petals in bloom
