Comunicato stampa

WELCOMING THE FLOWERS

armfuls of honey suckle

and columbine,

red-tipped knives of Indian paint brush,

the fields of daisies are the people

who betrayed me

and the lupine were self-serving and unkind,

the voluminous and voluptuous bougainvillea

are licking fire loving what it cannot burn,

the big bunch of one thousand red roses

are all the people I made love to,

hit my nose with stem of a rose,

the poppies have pockets packed with narcotic treats,

the chrysanthemums are a garland of skulls.

I go to death

willingly,

with the same comfort and bliss

as when I lay my head

on my lover’s chest.
