Petal

 
      Stuck out        from all it's kind
Flower                    denuded
To a single      
                      petal
 
A thousand questions came to mind
My mind undecided
Tween happy and sad
 
Did she love him, or didn't she?
The flower unconcerned
Slathered passing bees
With it's potent seed
A wanton pollen slut
 
 
Electrochemistry and vascular
Capillary action and osmotics
Bittersweet doomed romances
And a score of broken hearts
Skew my floral contemplations
 
I may never know who  
     carefully  
      Plucked  
      the petals.    
                   down to
                        one
 
But I hope she loves him.
