Wilting Flowers
What in life is commonly shared
But to scream out in frustration together!
From this chair I watch the flowers droop
As useful purpose is cruelly removed,
While my freshness disappears,
Abhorrently, in sustained tears.
I scarcely question depression’s invasion
And try half-heartedly contemplating escapism.
It’s the complexity of organismal cannibalism
(Feeding on each other to thrive in this environment)
That bends my conscience, revealing nature’s intent
Of a point desperately sought, “called meaning.”
And then to be disappointed when it is discovered
That the answer lies in a vase of wilting flowers.
