The Tower part III ( The Florophant) In the Tower of the Florophant Orchids move with languid grace. The thorny duchess in her perianth Is sitting there without a face And looking down from a wide rimed velvet crown On a scarlet purple gown rich as blood. She won't hesitate to end the life Of anyone who spoils the scene. All is fragrant and agreeable In her fluorocarbon dream The curtains breath and the rhododendrons tease Moving slowly in the breeze of her breath.
