NO ROSE, TOO YOUNG AWARE




No rose, too young aware, slow bursts to rust

Blood bloom; wanting wing, knowing, strives

Tight clutched, down-suppressed against the sap

Vertical thrust to a sun’s green peeled sigh.


Which doubt can claim the when of Time’s rebuff

Grown before the graft, and placed near where

And how in strangled Time’s reversed dry sands,

Deciding who shall name illicit care?


Covert moon drawn breath unbreathed beyond

My thorn bound hands repressed; white-bone-

Baked, dreamed black, in dust perfumed before,

Falls blown petaled at my feet on stone.

(Clicking on photos enlarges them.)
