Carnation |
a single white carnation |
sailed through the air hit the ground |
behind it was laughter |
and envy and joy in the sound |
of passion and power |
for the star of the hour |
least noble of flowers |
lays at her feet like a clown |
just a step up from a weed |
so common so hardy |
a stranger to the fame |
and other ridiculous things |
a practical type |
like the fella that threw you |
who shuffles away |
and exits the theatre alone |
a single teardrop |
softens the crease on his face |
one of many hard living has shaped |
«oh baby» he cried «why couldn’t i?» |
«oh baby» he cried «why?» |
«but look at you now, i guess i’ve done right» |
so the carnation man picked up his bottle |
and melted back into the night |
she was succesful |
the newspapers claimed |
a pheonix from ashes |
but what they never said was |
she longed for a call |
from a man she hardly knew at all |
she folded her kerchif |
and answered the dressing room door |
to flashes of light and armfuls of flowers |
«just put them over there» she said |
«with all of the others» |
but a ghost caught her eye |
as the usher walked by |
a crumpled carnation |
fell through the air hit the ground |
