White chrysanthemums...

Chrysanthemums at Sushi Hana

Pale green at the petal’s base,
white needles soft to the touch,
snug in a mug full of cool water.

My life, like the fish in the case
that sit sliced, never to swim again,
cool in their vivid colors, as if…

the chrysanthemums, that seem so alive,
bloom faintly fragrant still unaware
they have been severed from their roots.
