flowers for me

I wish men could read minds.
A mind reader would know
how much I need a flurry
of tender blossoms,
scented splendor,
and call it the sexual organs
of plants,
or something cynical clever,
but I want baby's breath,
star gazer lilies,
and baby carns
that smell like rare spice
to bury my face in
and carry me off
and whisper
in the quiet
"girl, he does love you."
and too bad for anyone
who thinks the old girl
has seen too many FTD ads.

I want an arm load of flowers
as tender as I am.
So there.
