(You are watching a flower)
look at my petals sway and eat my nectar
I blush pink and bloom upright as a sceptre
for my meadow gallery, sun shines when I grow
pollinate me with your pollen and song
(You are not watching a flower)
kill my stem and step on my organs, shoe about
I wilt maroon and atrophy my mind
for my imagined entourage, moon lights up my guts
maggots devour me as I writhe
it is okay, I am compost
I spread my nature about
