anonymous flowers

the trouble is, the number of times i can ask who sent them to me is finite.

"did you send me the flowers?"

"by the way, did you... courier me a bunch of almost-open tulips?"

yes i was called to reception to collect them, yes i left them there an hour after i'd been told they were there, yes they were more magnificent than i'd hoped or imagined.

but i don't want to carry this question with me.

not even for an hour.

so thank you, i am sure you want me to feel special and curious.

but if i could, i'd return to sender.

address unknown.
