Today I kidnapped
a little flower,
a bit of purple,
glowing in the grim
jungle of early Spring slivers.
I didn't treat her gently.
I ripped off the petals
and sliced the stem,
glaring under the
instruments that helped me
see the flesh torn and the
life syrup oozing from the wounds.
I sought secrets
in the folds of those skirts.
I spread it out on a glass
and invited my friends to see.
Inside the flesh were
long-lost cities with
walls made of transparent jade,
trails through forests festooned with fruit.
