Chrysantemum |
|
For you I am a chrysantemum |
|
Supernova, urgent star |
|
Astera Compositae |
|
For you I'll be a dandelion |
|
a thousand flowerettes in the sky |
|
Or just a drop in the ocean |
|
If you know my name |
|
don't speak it out |
|
it holds a power - as before |
|
Liliacea |
|
A lily of the valley |
|
a flower of saron |
|
Helianthus annus |
|
For you I even be a sunflower |
|
Do you hear my enlightening laughter? |
|
another reason to cut off an ear |
|
You know my name, do you not? |
|
don't say it |
|
For it's a sacred, immovable - frozen |
|
Rosa, Anemone et Nymphea alba |
|
I'll even be a waterlily, |
|
a marygold, a rose |
|
or a little thistle |
|
Euphorbia |
|
a blue dahlia, a black tulip |
|
that's where opinions differ |
|
the scholars disagree |
|
My name, should you know it |
|
remains unspeakable |
|
and it's spoken - malediction |
