Credenza
Exhibited on the console TV
(vulnerable 3, 6, and 10)
An erect green vase shows
Dozens of Freedom red roses--
Penance of darkness
Dull attar at the wood alter
Feral stems strike
Fist size buds--
Polaroid picture blossom in my head
a timeline to forgiveness.
In a recycled plastic water bottle
cut from a garden bush, she
places a single red cross rose bud
purposefully on a solitary night stand--
Ethereal perfume
Whimsical stem
Hair shirt thorns
Resurrection of an eternal sign--
A rose is a rose without mercy
nailed within my altered home.

yikes...some hard undertones of this...the fist size bulbs...strike...a timeline for forgiveness and their symbolism of freedom....the hair shirt and penance...
