100 Ways For A Woman To Look At The World

Michael Wurster


Stare at the flower's center
in a secret room.

Crack it open,
like you would
a forgotten novel.

Read parts of it,
sadness and sighs
coming from somewhere,

an embrace,
strawberries on your lips.

Is it a sunflower,
or a rose,
any eden we can name.

All stories are about time.
