Calls of Nature

Hues that come in red and blue
and lines that come off cliche
with mentions of roses and tu-
lips that end up brushing by you.

Living like leaflets, we are--
dangling like by-gone petals
of puppy dog love too far forgotten
to remember any real sentimental
value.

Buy these flowers, won't you girl?
Love is a spark of light
A dazzling blaze of flame--
Buy these flowers of mine.
