An impressionist-style digital painting of red and pale yellow flowers against a textured background of blended greens, blues, and oranges. Overlaid in white serif text are the words: "MAY FLOWERS" at the top center, and beneath it in smaller italics: “For once, I chose the May Flowers.” The image evokes a sense of quiet reflection and bittersweet emotion.
💐 New poem: May Flowers
I was an usher at a wedding.
I didn’t dance. I watched.
I drank gin. I chewed gum.
I thought about love.
So I wrote this instead.
