Paper-Thin Petals

By lupus tenebrae

Petals; paper-thin,
bespeckled by the light
of day subdued, whitened weaves

of mache, thinning
under still-frame scrutiny
made clear as burnished crystal.

Author's Note:

The library had their carnations out for St. Patrick's Day, again, so, this is pretty much the sister poem to Carnations Jutting Skyward.
