How to Care for Hyacinths (and a General Guide to flowers)

A man's true heart shall fall
through sieves, as light
is scattered between edges
of fickle glass panes
or pieces of silk escaped from hands
of a jealous wind.

A man's true soul shall stay
encased, intimately reflected
in a prism of days, patterned
by his youthful joy.

So,
To grow hyacinths well:
Watch and water their roots,
sing for their leaves,
keep their buds alive,
protect them,
(but do not disturb
their petals),
let them live.
