She Calls It Closure '07

Curved, un-curved.
The lines, my mind.
Recoil, explore,
Your life.
In green,
But the daisies keep on dying.
We do not care,
Of age or gardens,
Of trees or grass.
Pick up your trowel;
Dig hole,
Fill space,
Replant,
Move on

Your are the Queen of short expressions... '...the daisies keep on dying' really adds to the mood of the piece. So hard sometimes to move on... it gets easier with age. Best wishes, Keith
