Spines like Flowers - a poem

O bless your brave spine
so tall, so straight
like a stem in a vase

I'd water that spine
that stick-straight stem
and pray it won't bend

Unlike the tulip
Fix your eyes above
Keep your head up, love

O bless your brave spine
belly in tight, such strong height...
May it hold you up through another long night.


- Ellen H.
