Petals

Famous quotes containing the word petals:

    the petals creak and
    begin to rise.
    They rise and recurl
    to a bud’s form
    and clamp shut.
    I wait in the dark.

    Which shore?
    Agh, petals maybe. How
    should I know?

    I said petals from an appletree.

    some petals fall
    with that sound one
    listens for....
