Plucked in the garden by Caroline Crew

October 13, 2020 by lunchreview Leave a Comment

you have these flowers
as the after party of your life
why worry about a grave

but I am still here
another expense of the sun

evil has captured
the hearts of plants today
the bitterness of roads
is no longer a secret

I manicure this lawn
so perfect it lakes

I become the boat on which
the flowers are not
