breathing flora.

in a dream I 
planted a lily 
at the bottom of 
the sea, with pale 
cupped hands, I gently 
placed her roots 
beneath the 
shifting sand, dark 
water churned against
my skin under light 
refracting from 
above, and I awoke 
to drowning 
before it had a 
chance to bloom

  1. A: I'm a Jew from NY and don't assume everybody knows Yiddish. Not meant in any way to be arrogant. Meant as humorous. And commenting on your "looks" had nothing to do with attractiveness. It was about a happiness and peacefulness which I saw IN your face. I really must learn to stay off of facebook.Sorry. Richard Marcus
