DO THE FLOWERS REMEMBER

Do the Flowers Remember

When the flowers stop coming,

why do the flowers stop coming?

What happens

when the flowers stop coming?

When the flowers stop coming,

what happens?

If the flowers never stopped coming—

if the flowers never stopped,

if the flowers didn’t remember—

Remembering when the flowers stopped coming.

Remembering when the flowers stopped.

Or—

when the flowers stopped remembering.

Or both—

when the flowers and memory

fade together.

What happens

when we stop remembering, too?
