Flower from Small Window by Jared Doherty

got my jar of flower petals
screwed the lid on tight
don't want the sunlight escaping

gone to bed
like it's going out of style
steal an inch, force a smile

shut your eyes and
look around
pay no mind to foreign sounds
dig a hole deep in the ground
I'll help you down

while we're speaking of the devil
keep your ears shut tight
don't want the sunlight escaping
a house built from expensive metal
drawing from the well
you had installed in the basement

down your rabbit hole we go
where's the surface?
no one knows

there's one more hole
in the clouds
where the sun's beating down
but it won't reach underground

i'm lucky that i brought my shovel
dig up towards the light
don't want the sunlight
getting wasted
i'd stand up but the ground's not level
start rolling down the hill
my mind is racing
