this here
this is only it
a bud
a flower
petals on the ground
each one as it happens
that is only it
this here
this is only it
a bud
a flower
petals on the ground
each one as it happens
that is only it
floating
light as a bird
pretty as a peach
delicate as a peony
in her blue paisley print sundress
among the tall dry grass
does she even exist?
cat lays aimlessly
eyes open but unmoving
not much to existence
human sits tense
eyes wide and flitting
existence is temporary
