Lavender and Pink.

Rilke Quackelbeen

As a flower in a pasture.
As a flower in the woods.
Hidden for the dangers, and the goods.
So lavender that lavender can be.
So pink that a rose can be.
Hidden in a subburb.
Hidden in her room.
Living a life so calm as a groom.
So bored and beautiful like lavender and pink.
Waiting while they think.
How would it be if I weren't lavender or pink.
