Searching for Pablo

Wedges

April 17, 2007

A solitary flower,
With wilted petals
And yellow
Parched leaves,
Reared its fragile
Head from
A wedge
In the concrete
Floor
Of the waiting shed.

Up from its
Darkened bed
To greet
A lifetime’s shade—

The roof
That shields the
Indifferent brows
Of men
From the sun’s
Searing rays.
