Rosa rosa rosam Rosae rosae rosa Rosae rosae rosas
There's just something about an overblown rose...
How swift is the ruin of beauty like this, how brusque,
budding, blooming, and dying all at once in a blur
of being! I say the words that float on the air
and I watch as another petal lets go its hold and falls
to carpet the green below with flashes of crimson.
I breathe the scent of the flowers, but every breath I take
is all at once a birth and growth and death.
