Past Sunflower

Every pigment of yellow always unburdens you from the acrid lashes of your life. You said it was your verity, your life.

As I gaze at the bouquet of sunflowers on your tombstone, maybe, just maybe, sunflowers are the new November Tomb flowers.

With tomb flowers in his hand, his eyes stared at her grave, "Guide me to your perpetrator, darling. I will kill them all."
