The stages of grief
(Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, Antihistamine)
Lilies longer living than
indeed the first flush of sorrow
funeral flowers eventually falling foul
strew them from the balcony
pollen takes red ochre to the earth
signal the end of my streaming eyes
and the maddening itch
which would have me rend my own skin
everything passes they say
even this
