Blooms of Spring

I pick flowers in spring
periwinkle, iris, jacarandas
blooms of spring, dinner table ornaments
purple is mother’s favourite colour

I press flowers in spring
trapped between pages of an encyclopaedia
flattened, dehydrated, stiff
but still beautiful – just like mother
 
I lost mother in spring
rain overflowed from the sky that day
so did blood from her wrists
I don’t like spring
