fearsome orgasmic blooms
in a jealous world
deceptive fragility
of steely petals and stems
roots entwined with the
hopes of childhood sunbeams
miraculous and defiant
like the vivacious dreams
in your smile
beauty should never apologize
and our love baby
is flora in the midst of death
for the rest of our collective breathes
