chrysantemum for you i am a chrysantemum
supernova, urgent star
astera compositae for you i'll be a dandelion
a thousand flowerettes in the sky
or just a drop in the ocean
if you know my name
don't speak it out
it holds a power - as before
liliacea a lily of the valley
a flower of saron
helianthus annus for you i even be a sunflower
do you hear my enlightening laughter?
another reason to cut off an ear
you know my name, do you not?
don't say it
for it's a sacred, immovable - frozen
rosa, anemone et
nymphea alba i'll even be a waterlily,
a marygold, a rose
or a little thistle
euphorbiaa blue dahlia, a black tulip
that's where opinions differ
the scholars disagree
my name, should you know it
remains unspeakable
and it's spoken - malediction |
