What is it? Poem #2

This one is easier to guess

1993

Broken Beauty

Pistil

Stamen

Stalk

Cut

Wrench

Put on Life Support

Pleasant under glass

We watch them die

Annual degrees of death

Or

Wait until next year

Industry of Romance

Built on quick decay

Price Hike on Special Days

We mark our coats

We adorn our wrists

Olfactory Success

We please the senses

And admire the container

Many of my poems are simple everyday objects made complex

we crush it

It drifts up

mist disturbing those already saturated

we mingle it with the others

swirl it around

poke and prod

it reenters our senses

we tear we cough

cowed but still determined

we turn away

reach blindly

curse

at the very idea of it’s survival

life wills it well
