autumn

you should be so gleeful 
your face, the one you put on
can drop even for a minute 
is enough to know the feeling
freeing you up on makin new 
    things possible again
and again and again and 
i love this fact, again 
i represented the vested 
interested of the vested few
who still scrape diamonds 
from humanity into private
hands are soft but quick
i gift you the lilac
no subtext
just flowers and giggles
i gift you the lily
it’s biblical and rolls off
tongue lilting, slyly 
shy and angry all the time
rightly so i think 
but placed where?
