Daisy

Suzanne Mondoux · 4 May 2020

Daisy you look so fine So gentle you are You seem so common But you’re not alone You’re family of colour covers this field This field of battle so many have seen I watched you bend in the wind I lay next to you

Daisy at my hands and feet I rest my head on you Daisy, you saw me fall You saw me go to sleep

Daisy, crushed beneath my bleeding body I felt your warmth I saw you looking at me

Daisy, so many bodies drape this field Not one common No two the same

Daisy, you drank my tears New daisies, new field Daisy, life goes on
