Note: the "prompt" I received as part of the 5-in-5 Challenge on the second day, was “All she wanted was to be wrapped in flowers”. Of *course*, there was no way my mind wouldn't take a rather surreal path with this one, was there?

lyrics

Chelsea Gardiner
Hedges trimmed into grand shapes
Horticulture
Gave her a means of escape
Lunchtimes, skies fine
Walks round Kew Gardens for air
In, out the greenhouse
Communes with the cacti in there

Good gracious, desk spacious
Bonsai and flora abound
Waters small trees
The healthiest you’ll see around
Buys cut flowers
For burial as victims of crime
Trees like family
She lavishes more of her time

Chelsea Gardiner
Has a wish for when her leaves fall
Recomposing
The ultimate gardener’s call
Seed-heads, flower-beds
Scattering life all around
From dirt, formed first
Gifted as soil to the ground
