Why do we give flowers to those we love?
When those flowers were once
lovers scorned, or lovers killed.
What are flowers but lives cut off,
dead things we call beautiful.
They have but one purpose:
to distract the eyes and the nose,
from a less beautiful, a less innocent
purpose.
Why say "I'm covering you in pollen"
When you can say "I love you"
