The Daisy of Your Choice

by Elena Cambio Pizarro

The daisy of your choice grows in a place you have never seen, never heard of, where you least expect it. Behind your back it appears, pretending not to care if you pick it. When you finally think to turn around, it sighs in relief. Now the suspense is released, so it can get on with its life and death. It knows that as soon as you notice, you will pick it. The daisy of your choice knows it will then rest in a crystal bud vase on your mantle, contrite.
