The Flowers Still Bloom

A mother loses a child

And the flowers still bloom

For our tragic affairs do not matter to the lilies

Heartbreak bestows that of a young man

And the flowers still bloom

For our love does not reside in the hearts of the carnations

A woman weeps in pain

And the flowers still bloom

For the poppies do not care for our agony

The flowers still bloom

When we are

sick

alone

dead

and as I am cruel in my terror

I pluck the flowers

For I find myself tired of the garden
