How you pass over time,
you sleep the mornings
and escape the nights.
To be a flower that survives
time
beyond the settings of the sun,
its ups and downs.
Beautiful in eternity, yet
separated from life;
to be a flower out of breath.
To be a flower forgiven,
forgotten, forbidden;
ordinary.
The gardens of a palace,
a vase,
your care;
to be what your fingers tended
more than flesh.
January 2016,
Athens.
