A Funeral For the Flowers
She said, " ...and I can have as many flowers as my pretty little heart desires to
hold and in any color as well.....
She loves flowers
lots of flowers
fragrant flowers
of beauty and color
bunches of flowers
freshly cut and arranged
to symbolically suggest
that she was ever
capable of love
she gatherers them close
covering the bed
where she lies...
so many flowers
fragrant flowers
to disguise the odor
of her dying
and rotting soul____
