No More Blooms

You looked like you were arranging flowers in your head,
eyes appraising something I would never appreciate.

Later, I could tell by your silence that you were dumping
whole bunches of blooms - then you left,
leaving me with Baby's Breath,
Cattails, bamboo stems,
and thin things with bumps on them;
fillers, just the left overs --- no real flowers.

Now I have so much space,
and our best vase is full of crap.
