Orchid in a vase
Delicate petals fanned in gradient
Elegant stem curved against the glass
Buds around me at carefully staggered heights
Shades of violet, magenta, soft lilac
Centerpiece of your kitchen
Roots trimmed off in a pretty tapered point
Leaves snipped for uniformity
I'm living the best of my bloom
Gratefully drinking the sink water you give me
In three days my petals will be in cracked pieces
Under your shoe
❀
