Limp flags in the gloom;
fading flowers to be thrown
from the empty tomb

Flowers in a jug,

Poem: A Still Life of Gerberas
The gerberas you were given
had all wilted within two days.
The thought that counted
didn’t linger beyond its significance,
save to remind you to move on,
that old things are thrown away
