Chrysantemum
For you I am a chrysantemum
Supernova, urgent star
Astera Compositae
For you I'll be a dandelion
a thousand flowerettes in the sky
Or just a drop in the ocean
If you know my name
don't speak it out
it holds a power - as before
Liliacea
A lily of the valley
a flower of saron
Helianthus annus
For you I even be a sunflower
Do you hear my enlightening laughter?
another reason to cut off an ear
You know my name, do you not?
don't say it
For it's a sacred, immovable - frozen
Rosa, Anemone etNymphea alba
I'll even be a waterlily, a marygold, a rose
or a little thistle
Euphorbiaa blue dahlia,
a black tulip
that's where opinions differ
the scholars disagree
My name, should you know it
remains unspeakable
and it's spoken - malediction


-Einstuerzende Neubauten Blume
