every ooh and aah
we aim if for
a flower’s
sunny side
the dressed up
showoff side
the hair and makeup side
the red carpet side
preferred by
the eyes of cameras
bees and butterflies
perfect for coupling and
uncoupling us to
birth and death
a fistful for first dates
blankets for wedding’s vows
give a rose spear a heart
then there’s the B squad
the hidden scaffold
the nuts and bolts
and girders that hold beauty
tell me who turns
a blossom upside down
and says anything
anything at all?
