A Funeral For the Flowers

She said, " ...and I can have as many flowers as my pretty little heart desires to 
hold and in any color as well.....


She loves flowers 

lots of flowers 

fragrant flowers 

of beauty and color 

bunches of flowers 

freshly cut and arranged 

to symbolically suggest 

that she was ever 

capable of love 

she gatherers them close 

covering the bed 

where she lies... 

so many flowers 

fragrant flowers 

to disguise the odor 

of her dying 

and rotting soul____
