To Die For

So wonderfully colored are this plant’s flowers
Its hues are of lavender and mauve,
And touched ever so lightly
With tips of beige…
I have never come upon such a magnificent flowering plant,
I just want to kneel before it and
Give all my love,
All my love, that I can give,
Though I don’t have much love to give right now,
So delicate is its foliage and
So supple are its petals,
All my love,
All my love,
Is all I have to give right now,
To this wondrous unidentifiable floral plant I give
All I have,
All I have, is a little love to give so
I gently touch it with the tips of my fingers here and there,
Here and there I offer thee all my heart’s devotion I say, as I
Personalize something non-existent,
Nonexistent is everything to me now;
I can ‘t relate, Now.
I can’t relate to anyone right now so
To your special plant I give all of the little I have to give!
I don’t care if it never gives back because it is
Not human and I have nothing to fear,
Nothing to fear,
It cannot harm me,
It cannot harm me,
And I will circle-dance around it,
Yes, circle dance, as did the Indians years ago,
And watch it grow, watch it grow, until it grows too tall to live anymore,
And until it dies,
Then I will kill myself I will kill myself,
Because I can’t cope, I can’t cope
Anymore,
Anymore, my love, I have no love,
I have no feelings,
I cannot live, I cannot live.
