"89 Dried Roses"

Marabola: Poetry
Comments:
March 2006
An oldish poem that I don't really like anymore but will post nonetheless. Series of serrated impressions from thinking about time and setting, if I remember correctly.


eighty-nine dried roses
wood and water, peers the deer
through March's rain, it's back again
mud and fog and footprints here.

millions of dead maple leaves
streams and stones, passes grass
collapsed I lie, 'neath blue sky
below the rot the new ones gasp-

sixteen years of being
beginning breathing, lying eye
flowers are tied to the door
smoke in a bottle: 's'truth, no lies.
