I cut my flowers too short. My billowing, green vase drowning their maternally short stems and never-blooms. Within a week’s time, (and I know this) The leaves I neglected to p l u c k Will be rotting and browning under the confines of a vase half-full — too full. Although, (I must defend myself) I filled my swelling, green vase prior to my mistake, So the water is truly– technically– The perfect amount of fullness. Nonetheless, (as I cannot regrow stems) I place my mistake in the middle of the kitchen island. My bloating, green vase standing stoutly against its prepackaged blooms.
