no more flowers, please
when the sounds of
battle have faded
and the bodies have
all been buried
no more flowers,
please
when love looks like
a Picasso painting
and all the stairways
up only lead down
no more flowers,
please
when the Holy Grail
has been found and
sold on eBay
no more flowers,
please
when all of Venice
breathes water and
the fish ride in
gondola's
no more flowers,
please
as ancient Egypt
was struck dumb
by the infidelity
of time
no more flowers,
please
because my dust
will last longer
than my memory
of you
no more
flowers,
please
