store flowers

the store flowers won't
last long.
cut early
and watered,
banded together
on the shelf.
the petals will fall,
they'll wilt,
the stems
no longer strong
enough to hold them up.
no sunlight,
no vase will help.
but they'll make
it home
and into the hands of
who they were bought for.
and that
counts.
