A Flower Poem by Paul Celano

I sit planted in the frigid earth
Leaning back, eyes to the sky
A rich sigh hits my lips
For relaxation has come

As the sun glistens on my face
I shake my petals with rapture
For each one is a fraction of my life
Attached to my tickled smile

I dance with the refreshing wind
For she is one with me
Her silky crystal fingers
Embrace my entire body

Fluffy clouds of cream appear
Crying down their dewy tears
The nectar runs down my skin
Giving my body a pleasurable chill

The world embodies itself around me
Like a tender cotton blanket
Then I shut my eyes to equanimity
For my day was content
