Purple Foxglove
On my pathetic sunshine walk
I saw a purple foxglove growing from a concrete sidewalk.
Fearing the sunlights observaviton I walked past it.
But on my way home I was haunted by the flower,
I didn´t take a close enough look,
And couldn´t remember neither the color nor the pattern of the blossoms.
So as the sun went down and the evening approached I sneaked out of the house
and walked back to find it.
There it was.
Waiting for me.
Shimmering in the blue light.
and I bent down and stole it from the moon.
She couldn´t be mad or judge me,
for she knew I only took such satisfaction from watching beautiful things die
Because I wasn´t able to do so myself.
