Why Love just One Thing? Dec. 10. 2023

Gary Hunter

why pick just one flower

to watch slowly drop

its petals into smelly water

before it all gets tossed?

 

the world

is a most unusual

everblooming landscape

 

no reason you can’t

maintain a freshly picked bouget

on the counter

 

even when you can

no longer draw water

or snip a stem

 

I bet you’ll smell them coming

before they even knock

on the door
