Sunflower

Sunflower , the harlequin who can’t cry

The face upon the mask of time when

It turns to look at the sun

Moonshine……like Irish eyes unsmiling

Begging you to reach inside

And show what was before

When time overtook you

Pulled you and shook you

Revealing the acid ,the seed of your secret heart

The sunflower

It’s time to forget him

Burn and regret him

Endlessly sleep in the heat of

A thousand suns

The sunflower
