In the Weeds

she looked like she was arranging flowers in her head
eyes appraising something I could never appreciate

i could tell by her silence she was mad at me
about something       I had no clue

 – then she left

leaving me with flimsy shoots of brown stuff
wilted cattails, bamboo stems
and thin things with bumps on them
fillers  — just wispy crap

i hope she comes back
she will be in a better mood
meanwhile 
i have ordered bought chocolates and roses
