Flowers

Humans adore flowers;
They say dolphins adore humans too;
But you take it for granted;
A human.

…Hm…Among the list of pleasures,
He surely must like flowers too;
But why?
Why does a human like flowers?

Why does a piece of the abyss,
Like this other specific piece of abyss?
What does connect those two?

Why doesn’t a human like belts?
Blocks of cement,
Or iron?

Why doesn’t he keeps,
The aforementioned
As embroidery in his house?

But he keeps flowers;
He embellishes his house,
With flowers;
