Flower Crystal

Flower Crystal

Karyn Indursky

 
Plucking off petals 
debating whether he or she 
likes you while the flower 
wilts in confusion 
for rumors aren't evidence.
 
Plucking off petals 
gingerly as you dig 
for unavailable answers 
and without petals
you resort 
to plucking leaves 
wondering what to believe.

Plucking off grains of soil 
from the stem and realizing 
if he/she is interested 
words with match actions 
while God leads you where you belong.
