nine
sunflowers
in
a
blue
bowl
on
a
table
the
colour
of
morning's
finest
verdant carpet,
and
an
apple
to
match
the
blood
of
my
words

above
the
uneaten
fruit
,
a
sweet
-sounding
lie
about
knowledge
and
grace
—
the
implication
being
that
these
things
are
given
,
not
earned
,
when
those
of
us
who
have
lived
long
enough
to
grow
into
our
truest
selves
know
better
.
don't
take
a
picture
.
all
of
this
is
already
gone
