Her reply blushes,
apologetic for existing
beyond what her
back story projected
.
(probable destiny –
doormat, a yearbook
dilemma). From
inside those petals,

.
fly to honey. She
checks her nails,
boredom masking
terror, and another
.
one bites the dust.
She will add him
to the collection,
proof of purchase.
