a rose, left abandoned
on a bedside table.
fingers, that once,
were dexterous and able.

a crane, symbol
of good luck and health,
a Labrador, long since
lost its yelp.

a lily, peace
and forgiving.
a swan that failed
to go on living.

paper nature,
long since forgotten,
paper is temporary,
ripped and rotten.
