#### Content Warning

Suggestion of adultery

Sunflowers worship the sun,  
The seeds provide,  
Oil for the dish.

My thunder strikes her down  
If she speaks again  
Of her family tree.

If you can say so much  
With so little words,  
Why don’t you?

A month in the country,  
One month could be  
An eternity.

Sunflower hair  
Always cleaning,  
Never talking.[\[1\]](#fn1)

The maiden’s treasure mound  
Should be left hidden  
By the master.[\[2\]](#fn2)
