the sunflower has grownold leaves warped
bloated, head cast down
cloves that held up wide
yellow masses now thorns
towards the ground
crowning the massive head
what pride what arrogance
high, bright, bigger than all
flowers plants wide veins
pumping water to the
shower head spraying yellow
your seeds are bird eaten
your petals ground under
with the grand show over
you bow deep with closed eyes
you turned the sun to seed
who shall find you guilty now
of ego pride and greed
you poured out all you could gather
your power not wasted in you
but carries life through winter
into the next year, the next life
another day for extending us into the sun”
