:: chrysantemum ::

for you im 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 is 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 is spoken - malediction
