Fake flowers
boredom smells in the sickbed
when consideration is plain
i write as much as i can
we create fake flowers
feeling the scorch
on the way of June
at the bakery
put the fake flowers for some bread
miserable burn
as their skin is softly reborn
the girls created 1000 paper cranes
we create fake flowers
immature fake flowers are ugly
mature fresh flowers smell terribly
fake flowers we create do not smell
good
festered boredom in the sickbed
we create fake flowers
the world is already festered
but we still pray for the wonderful world
the flowers
/fresh/fake/vague/sickness/turbid/filled/good/smell
our fake flowers
/smell/fresh
(the fake flowers are the fresh flowers we create for praying)
