No wonder, Ms Dally,
the florist mistook your name for Mrs Dalloway
when you gathered sickle arm-
fuls of arum-
lilies, irises, delphiniums and lilac,
all that we ve come to lack
since the flowering of modernism...Stand,
as an urn and vase shall always stand
on your étagère and music cabinet
or a kitchen unit,
over-
flowering with flowers and with greenery leafed over
to the leaf everlasting. Never endue
the sickly lotuses with their due.
