3 petals

That's the one I shall choose first.



Three Petals

He would recreate her endlessly
Once, as he spoke
he slowly covered her naked body
with the petals of wild orchids

Petals on her eyelids
a delicate sleep

plucked from their
moonlit stems
blossoms parted
parted and closed

until there was
nothing

nothing but her shape
her scent
a crush of wild orchids
tangled where she lay
