Daffodils

You buy a pound's worth of these bastard asphodels bunched like spring onions in an elastic band among the other groceries.

Barely arranged, their heads rest on a vase's lip releasing peppery, satin glove pressed inside a mildewed book scent; pages spoiled with pollen

audit lonely trails of flowers strewn along the path, another growing in the snow beside the birth suite entrance - happiness you can afford.
