Outside my house
For fifty years,
Tall blossoms with carnivorous smiles
Samson yellow, sandalwood, salmonette
taller than my cat
Steeper than a flagpole
Flower faces peer through the window
Watching me
All nonchalant and indifferent
But I know better
They are just waiting
To see me naked.
Well
I am a bit of an exhibitionist anyway.
