dead roses

in my garden

for my dead Rose

dead roses

by the tombstone

for my dead Rose

dead roses

smell gone with time

for my dead Rose

dead roses

loved once, now not

for my dead Rose

dead roses

forgotten now

for my dead Rose

dead roses

litter the wind

for my dead Rose

dead roses

along with dead junipers

for me

and you

together

at last

I love you, Rose.
