Intelligence Uncurled
Pregnant possibilities
expelled to be nurtured
in societal garden beds.
Enriched with culture,
and challenges, to stretch
intelligences uncurled.
Opportunistic beasts
crawl between layers,
eating away security,
isolating each petal
weakening the form.
Bruised burgandy velvet
lost to nature's reality,
falls to compost roots
and provide for aphids.
