Flowers in a garden wait for
the edge of a blade
to cut them.
A straw basket waits
for a hand on the handle
to bring the flowers home.
The glass bottle painted purple,
waits for water to the brim,
sweet smells and colour.
A walnut table waits in the room,
paint faded lighter than the velvet
that covers my chair.
Here with cut flowers,
in full bloom,
I wait for the fading.
