The Pressed Rose

Between the covers of an old novel,

sits a trio of pressed pink roses,

the flowery scent long faded away.

a long-forgotten suitor long ago proposes.



Poets

Contagion

Goodbye to the days

That slowly drawled on

While we swam in the pool

And soaked in the sun.

-

Lots of smiles

Sips of beer



Sense of Loss

I take a bite

and I hear

your lesson

“Place it on your tongue

and press it

against the roof of your mouth

let it melt naturally



novel romance

he says he wants me to write him like a graphic romance novel-

we both wonder how much

is he really worth my imagination?



Ineptitude

Fill the space with chitter chatter

Thinking that it matters

As if your wisdom Earth-shatters.

-

But energy wears no disguise



Raisins

Where are you today?

Raisins cupped in my palm.

*

How quickly you became

Half-memory, not so sour.

*

No, I can’t be erased from hospital
