Stem & Leaf
Dominique Dillon de Byington, Tamer Fahri Oezgoenenc
With some stem and some leaf
You set the time
When you pick me
Surrounded by petals
I quietly rest and grow
Between colors and scents
Await the touch of your hand
Crave and touch me
Want me and pick me
Crave and touch me
Gently guide me
Want me and pick me
With stem and leaf
You set my time
When you pick me
In shades of pastel light
I begin to lose my sight
In fading colors
In lost scents
Await the touch of your hand
With stem and leaf
You set my time
When you picked me
