The Bouquet from Bingo
In Hospice, mother
recovers from heart attack -
sons whisper sweet nothings.
Purple iris, roses
shine inside a cellophaned
bouquet, from Bingo.
It’s May - moths
blinded by the sunset, die
by the glass window.
Stalks of stale tulip
dissolve in a green haze - water
inside the vase, yellow.
On the wall, clock hands
namaste - cicadas take over
the dark after visit.
