I am dead and still; in my journey
Through the human hands,
I smell of welcome and retirement
Of entrance and exit.

The Flower
I am dead and still; in my journey
Through the human hands,
I smell of welcome and retirement
Of entrance and exit.
I smell of a grand marriage ceremony;
Of the poverty of a street side marigold vendor
Of despair and jubilation
Of wife and prostitute.
I smell of the death of loved ones
And of long live prayers
I am dead and still…
