Beauty's rose wilts
and petal by petal,
shard by shard;
Faster than fantasy-
time relapses
~
Beauty's rose wilts-
it's soils all settle
Erosion by erosion,
slower than springtime;
the future arrives.
Beauty's rose,
But a wilt!
without trophy or medal,
condolences, by condolences,
at our own paces-
the past persists.
Black flowers, wilted with time,
without beginning, nor end-
are seen;
& through the stained glass gaze of love,
are shimmering.
