I am a stepped-on flower

(You are watching a flower)


look at my petals sway and eat my nectar


I blush pink and bloom upright as a sceptre


for my meadow gallery, sun shines when I grow


pollinate me with your pollen and song



(You are not watching a flower)


kill my stem and step on my organs, shoe about


I wilt maroon and atrophy my mind


for my imagined entourage, moon lights up my guts


maggots devour me as I writhe


it is okay, I am compost


I spread my nature about
