Strewn Flowers, by Dan Franch

Strewn Flowers, by Dan Franch (Estonia, b. USA) contemporary

Strewn Flowers

The flowers came...
too thoughtless, too late,
"too cheap" is what I said to him.

He thought it was about the money,
I meant it was the thought...
last-minute, like something he had to do.

So I did something I had to do,
should have done a while back
Now it's done

He's gone, flowers too, strewn petals in the past.
