i want to bury your roses
before they become too real
- before they realize that they have been
murdered
and begin to decay
untethered
and stinking of age
and loss
and grayness
i want to press your muzzy
sleep-warm kisses
in a cheesy paperback
- bodice ripper
so they cannot evaporate
into the commute
of my soul to yours
and only lie
innocent and wondering
at the juncture
of where we will meet
