Broken Flowers

Porcelain Flowers                                         

With painted on petals.

Yester years memories

Broken

Chipped and cracked,

Wilted leaves,

Blooms without any fragrance.

Except in the hearts of those who placed them carefully upon the  tomb of their loved one.

                                        

Leaning against his Peugeot he looks at me strangely...

They're broken you know, not a good one in the lot! You know what they are...don't you? For dead people! Disgusting isn't it! That is why I threw them aside. Don't want bad karma here! You want to buy them? What for, none of them are good condition!?

Gathered the flowers

I did. 

Brought them home.  Love never dies.  May they bloom in the garden of Eden.  Death doesn't mean an end.

Did they really put those on gravesites? Amazing! I love them.

Yes, these are gravesite flowers of the 1920s -40s,Porcelaine flowers are used because they don't die this way...these are unusual in that they are single stemmed flowers and not a thick mass like the ones you see now.

Had to do a double take on the flowers. For a minute there I thought they were real! Very pretty.

The story of the flowers was lovely. Never would have imagined that they would use porcelain flowers at a gravesite, but it makes perfect sense.
