Sunflower

Sunflower

There's something there
he said.
No there's not
she said.
Yes there is.

And so there was.

He'd buried a seed
deep inside her
somewhere she knew not where.
By day she searched.
Find it. Rip it out.
But by night
by night his whispered thoughts
filled her.
And so the seed grew

And now here she was
folliage spouting from her mouth
How could he not see the tendrils
curling from her lips?

It was going to Caesarian itself this overgown seed
Burst through her stomach
or her breast
if truly it was buried in her heart.

There was only one thing she could think of to do

she
opened her mouth
very wide
and she kissed him
