Spilling out over morning boxes
the sleepiest Flowers languish —
vanquish notions that greedy Time
offers only three sublime wishes
They thrice request steamy days
lounging in Sun’s delicious gaze
They turn curious faces to me —
insist I too arch my silkiest petals
Stretch long in hungry meadows
forget Time ticks across my skin
moves his Hands — to play in my hair
while Daisies entwine arias there
