GARDENIAS
By Charlene Fix

for Billy Holiday, as all gardenias must forever be

When a flower visits you three times in three days,
a flower you have met before but hardly remember,
you have to consider the synchronicity,
that this might be the Universe yoo-hooing to you
in a form involuted and sexy and coded and perfumey,
though there’s always the possibility you can touch
and smell and pore over such a thing for weeks and not get it:
this is how people go mad, this may be the Universe toying with you.

For the rest of this incredible poem (which only gets better):

This is a gorgeous white flower photo -- stunning; I'm making it a favorite.
The white seems to come right off the computer screen.
