Fast Clouds Past the Sun, But It’ll Be Clear Tonight

Among the many meanings,
The blue chair with flax batting
Rotting away at the seat

Is notable for flowers.
The flowers are white from green
Leaves and stems in ochre pots.

There are twenty-eight flowers,
White on the royal blue chair,
Surrounding the rotting flax.

The flax has its own meanings,
Soil and sad, quickly changing.
The flowers reign, triumphant.

Once you know the flowers’ names,
You’ll know all names have secrets.
