That reminder


While placing these flowers into a nest of leaves, 
I knocked off some of the petals, 
Which surprised me:
 They didn’t look withered, or decayed. 
You’d think, having lost both parents 
To unexpected heart attacks,
 I’d be accustomed to sudden death… 
That reminder, 
That everything can change in an instant.
