FLOWER OF DEATH

The seed was planted

Earth to Sky...

The native flower

burned and died...

The petals fell

to rot & smolder...

My tears stifled

on your shoulder.

 

The corpse bloomed bright

in red & green...

The body wept

for sights unseen...

The voice was trimmed

from root to pistol...

 

A life of death...

A rose of thistle.
