Wild Flowers


Wild Flowers


Strange, when I'm distant,
Her fingers are wild flowers.

I ran towards her to smell
Wild honeysuckle.

When I was next to her,
Her fingers smelled soapy.

She was always washing her hands.
Constantly, she washed her hands
in a white basin.

When I go away, when I'm distant,
Her hands, again, are wild flowers.
