The Pot Of Flowers
Pink confused with white
flowers and flowers reversed
take and spill the shaded flame
darting it back
into the lamp's horn
petals aslant darkened with mauve
red where in whorls
petal lays its glow upon petal
round flamegreen throats
petals radiant with transpiercing light
contending
above
the leaves
reaching up their modest green
from the pot's rim
and there, wholly dark, the pot
gay with rough moss.
William Carlos Williams
