yellow and green
curved harmony
in square vase
1.
closest to me
leaf folded in on
itself edge
of one petal
slowly peeling
away
2.
twisted yellow f
r a y i n g at the tip perfectly horizontal
3.
stem dips
low then points up
bulb of brightness reaching
achingly
tired cells knowing
these are the last hours
of beauty
4.
turned away from me
ashamed aware
aggrieved
one
sunny
leaf
separated
about to flutter down
5.
leaning
crossed on top
smallest
closed off
unwilling to breathe in
to know the air
reclining
resting
on fading
perfection
