The Song of the Iris
June 16, 2008
I have seen death
Nestled among the dank earth,
I have pushed my limbs upward
Unfurling my gaudy brightness to the night air
I have known the darkness of the night
Worms slithering past my bound roots
Helpless
I have died
Not your three days,
But six months,
Listening to the whispers of the dead
I have known the sweetness of birth,
And rebirth
I have woven my blooms in Persephone's hair
I have seen rebirth.
