Didn’T Tilt

Find and share the perfect poems. Until around sundown, the survivinglilies in the yard stay wide open,like the window of a car passingon a hot day. No music from the flowers,but they smell like somebody’s fragrantsoap unwrapped on a dish edgedwith daisies. All those smells expressingthemselves haphazardly like a bandtrying to tune up.
