Beware of Flowers

by Ryan Quinn Flanagan

Renoir had just finished
the Great Bathers
and turned to paint
a still life of flowers
when he suffered a heart attack
and died.

He was 78,
not quite
79.

The flowers didn’t seem to care
either way.
The flowers
stood over the body
drinking water
for three long
days                
before someone
noticed.
