Get it while it lasts

Pink and purple pansies
and petunias bloom
in the florist window

where two sisters
named Hope and Death
braid today's wreath.

Death takes a break
and goes out to smoke
by the skyline.

Hope finishes the wreath
and hangs it outside
with a price tag:

Today's offer,
just $3.99.
Limited supplies.
