Death of a Rose
wrapped
in
layers
so
thick
in
areas
and
yet
exposed
glaringly
so
in
others
.
taking
the
end
of
love
as
just
another
sign
,
gathering
homes
like
matchbooks,
let
your
beauty
rot
in
self
disgrace,
peering
through
the
rusted keyhole.
spin
another
year
past
your
head
,
tenderly
cupping
her
face
in
your
hands
,
giving
up
everything
to
not
know
,
raising
another
tempest
underneath
your
feet
.
