Still Life

The thin, tall vase stands still on the windowsill
like a sentinel
the gerbera, still full of life, is dipped into its water and made to face away from the view
its blood red petals admired as chores are performed in the kitchen
but over time, when unobserved, it slowly turns to face the sun
to gaze at the garden from whence it did come
