in seven
flowers grow tall.

they kiss my
knees when i run
through the fields that
connect my house
to wes and cori.

the fields are
drenched in
splashes of red
and orange.

hundreds of poppies
born from blood.

history breathes here.

. . .

it happens on a
sunday.
three hours after the work
day started in seven.

mom and dad kissed
my forehead.

"be good for charles."

the butler.

i was planted in a big house,
biggest one in seven.

my parents bred
hybrids,
new flowers for the capitol's
pleasure.

it happens on a
sunday.

a tree comes
crashing down and
the greenhouse

is flattened.

. . .

i am alone.

. . .

in the years after
i grow taller.

alone in a big house,
my roots cling to
wes and cori.

the entrenching
dark, sobriety of
being alone waits in
halls as empty as
me.

i branch out, petals
turned towards the
sun. i follow it
across the sky.

something in me whispers,
screams with every passing
moment,
i am dying.

but no one hears it and
i cover it with thick sweaters
and swirling smoke from
the cigarettes i started
smoking when i was fifteen
and i felt like my insides were
missing; i was desperate.

cori catches me with a
lighter in my hand and a
cigarette stuck between my
lips.

i'm nearly a head taller than
him now. he takes a drag and
looks me up and down.

"so you must be a flower then, huh?"

in seven
flowers grow tall.

. . .

i think we met when
i was happy, so maybe
four or five.

wes and cor and i.

the twins and i.

it was always
the three of us,
inseparable.

until it wasn't.
until we weren't.
