The Garden







I send you these flowers,
their petals deconstructed
and redesigned as pixels

on a screen and the light
from your windows shocks
them back into life. I

imagine you being able to
touch them; feel the smooth
skin of the real blooms back

here. Can you pick up a hint
of the sweet scent, see the
stalk bend almost imperceptibly

by a weak breeze sent from a
warm summer? I imagine you
walking in the garden now,

searching out patches of shadow
and seeking other flowers with
warm leaves, bright petals.
