Stone flowers

Shim and Lahanna
were void of Programma
content they crawled into the shelves.
Survived in a nation
of self preservation
divided made love to themselves.

Crowds appeared
as Shim had feared
no longer alone
no underground home
just flowers of stone.

Shim and Lahanna
were killed in Atlanta
where pictures of them made the news.
Survived by a daughter
Irene loved her father
almost as much as her shoes.

Crowds appeared
as Shim had feared
no longer alone
no underground home
just flowers of stone.
