Contemplate
The metal cock
And the small flower
Stood by the window
For hours and hours.
The cock could not crow.
The flower could not dine.
Still, very still, they had a good time.
The sunlight filtered through
The kitchen window stained glass.
They stood there in relief
As each hour passed.
Sadly, one day, the small orchid
Will be gone
And only the metal crow
Will silently carry on.
