Midnight Garden

A bird of paradise
was his prized flower
never seen anything like it
hard to grow apparently
i stared at it for a long long time
while his wife talked too much
filling his mouth with words

how i wished she'd be quiet
so he could tell me about
his midnight tended garden
as he had started to do
misty and replete

it's the way of things
when one loses once
one loses every day
