space

it was cold, I didn't know how it was, there.

the darkness that surrounded it

behind a wall of glass, shining

alone in a streak of gold. I stared when

I needed to run my fingers on it,

keep it from the rain drops and

the cold night's fog

provide the warmth that it needed, the single

flower of lavender

stood outside the wall of glass

it was cold here, I didn't know how it was

there.
