an excerpt of a poem entitled Thirteen Ways to Watch a Flower

In the sun as her beams shine,
Sits the flower center stage
Basking in all the glory

Fresh scent of Mother Earth all around
I lay back as if I am apart of nature
And inhale the beauty of one flower

Like the curves of a woman
Dancing in the night

Listen closely as you hear the bees
Buzzing around to find that one flower
That will be the one to share her sweet nectar

What the fuck did I just get myself into? Did that really just happen? Ten minutes or so had passed before I gathered my thoughts and then just like that I was fine. Of course, I wasn't okay with the situation, but something came over me while I was sitting there on that table. I'm not too sure exactly what "it" was, but it was like a numbness. I went from being on the verge of tears to being dangerously calm. I dressed quickly and then headed to the door. I paused as I reached out for the knob, taking a moment to prepare for whatever was to come once I stepped outside of that room.
