you my flower



its sharp-edged dryness is entirely as real as my eyes register
the summer-soft crimson
lost
inside the word
"fleeting"
in the idea
of past
in the wholeness
of death
so fully present
in the richness of living

  1. This flower here reminds me of an old world photograph rather like a botanical specimen which for me links to your words on life and death. Haunting as ever, Steven.

  7. erin i also thought about running it through some software that turns this image into a pen and ink rendering. but it is what is. as real as the word real allows. steven
