Phalaenopsis Orchid

Conversation is impossible.
I cannot even thank you,
cannot compliment your poise
as you stand on the window ledge,
flowers trapping the light,
your petals so purple
I feast on the sight.
If only it were Wednesday,
I could lay an ice cube
on the bark chips
for you to drink.
Today I can only look.
