White on White

it was the end of the beautiful white flowers
just a day ago so carefully trimmed and immersed in clear
water for her, floral preservative added to assure
the longest blooms in the hope

that she wouldn’t leave, that it wasn’t
true, a bad dream in a beautiful house, if the flowers
were in bloom she would not leave would she

put the white blooms in their white grave
on the way to her new life.
