What do you think this poem is about?

THE FLAG OF ITSELF

THE FLAG OF ITSELF

the bell
empties itself
creates silence

the flower
unfurls the flag
of itself

the bird sings
to the rain
darkness whispers to the sky

the wind
chases the grass
all over itself

her skirt
brushes raindrops from the grass
the ascent of a lark
