Tabula Rasa

Chrysantemum
For you I am a chrysantemum
Supernova, urgent star


Astera Compositae
For you I`ll be a dandelion
a thousand flowerettes in the sky
Or just a drop in the ocean


If you know my name
don't speak it out
it holds a power — as before


Liliacea
A lily of the valley
a flower of saron


Helianthus annus
For you I even be a sunflower
Do you hear my enlightening laughter?
another reason to cut off an ear


For you know my name, do you not?
don't say it
For it is sacred, immovable frozen


Rosa, Anemone et Nymphea alba
I'll even be a waterlily,
a marygold, a rose
or a little thistle


Euphorbia
a blue dahlia, a black tulip
that's where opinions differ
the scholars disagree


My name, should you know it
remains unspeakable
and is spoken — malediction
