The Cut Flower's Vow.

by

Azra Daniel Francis

They think they're cultured and so civilized
To cut me down to bleed for their delight.

And as in fatal pain I agonize,
They gush with glee, "Oh, see the pretty sight!

It was my kind first brought this world to life:
Precambrian weeds deep in primordial seas.

We'll still be here long after their demise.
They're not the first nor last we will survive.

They're just another seasonal disease.
