Bouquet
Funny thing about flowers
and a woman’s wanting
What a thing to admire —
this reception of sacrificed bloom
a temporary wonder of sight and smell
then rot.
She only offers lust when they are pretty and plucked.
Dropped in a vase perfectly cut.
It seems she has little use
for them once wilted but she
wont be the one who takes the garbage out.
And yet this is a symbol of my love.
