Pockets Full of Posies

What must they have thought
of that tiny bundle
a gift wrapped in petals and leaf mold
down there helpless on the ground
cold
alone
and crying?

And didn't they think
one day
that she might
want to know
the truth?

If Fluttershy weren’t so angry
she would ask.

But she can’t breathe
and she’s
quite frankly
peeved.

So she doesn’t.

Not yet.
