Yin Yang Pond
My aunt once knew all the Latin names for flowers Rosa Rugosa, Helleborus, Alchemilla. Built a garden out of love with a Yin Yang pond till she overfed the fish and they floated. First the nouns went became that thing, this thing laughed it off as old age. As the walls came in the words went out. The music stayed and played inside her head held my hands to dance in silence. Last word she said, as she cupped my chin in her hands was, ‘beautiful’.
