Back-petal
Where was the flower
before it was here
Because a flower has arrived
do you look down at it
pronouncing This is your destiny
How happenstance is a plant
tumbled from the breath
of a nearby plant
a sequence of them scattered
along the street
in a sentence reading Here
once there was wind
and enough light and soil
and water in agreement
Where was the flower
