full open red ripe
I know that in a day
or two the petals will droop
dry then fall leaving the hip
behind to be eaten by birds
or to drop to the ground unseen
this rose imperfect
models spirituality
I embrace
imperfect hesitant brave approximate
I know that in a day
or two I will change
consider then fall leaving the bone
behind to be eaten by birds
or to drop to the ground unseen
