The flowers listen intently now
It is the sound of everything
happening all at once
The hum is so high it is almost
inaudible now. The definition
of atrocity––sharp blades,
bright green shoots amidst
the oil drums––a matter of scale
they say. The rules of engagement
shift like a mountain of sand
Daisies unfurl in the shadows now,
unlikely alliances…
Everything is about to change
