Aesthetics
Fresh cut flowers on the windowsill
Sun streams in, the room is set
Only, we are pacing the aisles of the megastore
Searching for happiness stacked on a shelf
Another Saturday sacrificed
New garden to seed, room to redecorate
All wilted by next season’s palette
Kingdoms built today by a life compromised
Just a click or tap away
Always though, a step too far
Made to break; never to last
Why is the question for the day
Back to the flowers
Sometimes sticks will do
Add a touch of imagination
And you may find…where beauty resides
~ Camille
“Aesthetics” is a critique of curated life — a poem about chasing happiness in aisles and screens, and the quiet return to what’s real, simple, and made with imagination.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece holds a gentle reckoning — a reminder that beauty isn’t stacked on a shelf; it lives in attention, in sticks and flowers, in the way we choose to see.
