A Little Flower
Kira Howe
10 Aug 2003
In my cell there is a flower
But in the flower
There is not a prison
It is growing on the one sunned stone
Where the moss has made a bed
And little though the blue face is
I speak to it
And my voice is proud
Were I to go away from here
Would I miss the little flower
That was witness to my sorrow?
Yes, for
Where the flower meets evil
That is only the wildest of dreams
That are known for dreams
Before they are gone
And though my little flower
Is in my wretched prison
My grief is not in the bloom
