Honorable Mention Laudanum M "A poppy flower is beautiful, and a thousand poppies is dangerous" -- David Wilcox, "Strong Chemistry" It is in the blue, the blood, the veins of poppies. There in an arid lake of ashes, titles of paperback books, the deliberate name on a random business card – all of this guides them inexorably toward the pistil, stamen, the nocturnal core of floral organs; to Godfrey’s cordial that keeps hungry people quiet. They bloom grandly beside fresh graves of fallen heroes; speak to the dead of the density of destiny. Yes, poppies will make them sleep together mercifully in the flare, keenly aware of peril, ever mindful of these milky fluids they must but should not touch. |
