Red is the favorite
White or pink are there for the choosing
Gentle in touch, founded in the midst of thorns.
Waking lights wake her essence,
To be carried in the midst of guided winds
In blossoming variations, careless hands ransack her core
And drop by drop her layering skin falls at the feet of a smile like
Death pouring life out of his belly –
The irony.
Roses,
Blooming in time only to live for a time.
