FLOWERS

Flowers give a gift to the Martinelli bottle like a stripper says TA DAH. Usually, the Martinelli bottle is just used to apple juice--Martinelli apple juice. Now it is filled with water and basil leaves and rosemary and hyacinths and that little purple flower with that name. It is a presentation of love, from those who do to those who will.

The Martinelli bottle doesn’t miss the Martinelli apple juice. If only we could all be that way. I mean, not miss a part of ourselves, it’s not a good thing to do. I know that I mentioned strippers, but forget that for now. Look at the bottle. Look at my gold. Filled with water and flowers. Look at the light. Another gift is this. I drink an apple a day.
