i've entered a flower fest,

where all kinds of colors and families exist

through this, i met you all

through all, i met you

you who always seemed a little odd to me

-

you had a familiar scent

like a paper lily i'd made in my bedroom

when 10-year-old me had nothing to do

but hang around and figure out the folds of a lovely sheet

-

i have met other flowers

like you, but not quite either

(tbc, describe a tiger lily please)
