Existence
A function of language
To bring a flower forward
from thought
description
matters as nothing else
does
Pictures now
can be fake
and who trusts
that all is as it appears
But add the precision of color words
Talk to us of
the threaded ridges of
the stem and the way
its damaged green sticks
in the nostrils
peppery and stiff
lasting after the bloom
is taken away
and thus it exists
for you as no picture could
With 1000 words
or 100
in your ear
before your eyes
easy to say
there was a flower
It was without doubt
real
