just a painting of daffodil dying in a red vase against a red wall

 just a painting of daffodil dying in a red vase against a red wall


how does one describe the redness

all the halted bloody hues of ochre   

when all i see is that one daffodil dying

yearning for the host of the golden treasury 

it calls for the laying on of hands

the pouring of one into another

an impromptu vase filled with my tears


out of focus

the redress of a fingertip 

between here and there

that one daffodil 

dying slowly 


slowly i turn away
