for: C.C.

Sunflower plots, complicit in rows 

Deem Soft Instructions

To clean 

Their

Petals.

Human showers imitate rainfall.

Recognizing nature’s will 

As love.

Reflections hide details 

In the infrastructure. 

By staging the process 

For belief.

Organic:

Drop.

Touch.

Breaks.

Plastic:

Drop.

Touch.

Breaks.

Deception beguiles the labored habit,

Assuming,

“This worked before

Why not try it again?”

Ripples crowd rainfall puddles 

And those delivered from the tap

Are kidnapped by dry spots,

Hiding in plain sight 

To ruin Sunflower petals again.
