Flowers Innominate
flower in hair
dolled up
flower in hair
no make-up
flower in hair -
fair hair
dark hair
soft
curly
long hair – shorter
all color
peony
rose
frangipani
orchid
blooms innominate
some can only be pronounced
in the language of flowers
in hair
all these have legs
all these girls
are women with flowers
the women are showing you
what all this means to you
it is something
the women know that
they have flowers in their hair
to show that
flowers need no pro-nouns
they know the names
you have yet to learn
unless
you have a flower in your hair also
long legs
shorter legs
grey hair
fake hair
strange hair
tangled hair
the flowers do not care
the flowers do not care
