~a perfect orchid~ i picked an orchid an anther... picked searched its crevasse turned it upside down. tended its filaments to view that pistil. wooed and venerated a savored bouquet. drank in all the carpel nectar. purified its drink... positioned it delicately within my ... well-etched hand blown ... lead crystal vase that buttercup had forgotten. inflorescence aside, calyx features discarded amidst venerable petals, it blossomed ... atop my lace doily. later ....it turned color later ...it crumpled later ...if fell to pieces (Copyright © Donna L.
