Which one to Listen to?
Poetry response to "The Sound of Holyhocks" by Hugh Garner

Are the flowers talking?
Or is he hallucinating
Is  the calamity
the reasons for his insanity
So many flowers
yet, each has a different speech
Which one should he choose?

Why has his mom disfavoured  Sandra
where comes her animosity
She pushes the wife away ,
and she left and passed away
leading to Bill's dismay.
The grief of losing her,
makes flowers talk to him.

If his mother has acepted her
could Bill end in the clinic.
It's almost ironic
'cause the mother wants the best of him.

The marigolds, the daisies, the holyhocks
Which one to listen to?
