flowers within

in front of his house there are poppies.

red.

loud.

free.


i was once earth
with them,
and they are now what i am as a flower.
a poppy.
red.


not to be bought
or sold:

brave.

corageous.

life.































sold or bought,
although never,
the rose.


i was once a planet with it,
the red rose:

blood.

truth.

within.






























within me,
as if a planted seed,
the red carnation.


that shouldn’t be bought
or picked:

it should bloom from us.
