FLOWER SONG

The sun shone behind a cloud
Six hundred days of summer gone
A dainty grey on monsoon's shore
A chunk of quiet before the storm

A blade of grass cut my soul
I have ever since, my fears lost
While summer has waited endlessly
To heal kisses of the nightly frost

This heartbreak beats the thunder
We ruptured an innocence too soon
I've seen the rain falling upon
Blurry shadows of the winter moon

Can you seep into barren cracks
Where nothing has grown for long
To water me with soft lullabies
I am the grave of a flower's song

-K.G.
