A Memory of Flowers

the tulips
were bleeding
on my dress
as the lilies cried
tears of stone 


I watched 
the babies breath
enchant 
a congregation 


but it was the petals
of a white rose
that released a memory
of orchids,



the Orchids
are who I am
blooming in the exotic,
and handled with care


beautiful to behold 
in the garden
of my mind
