flowers for J.


bought twelve red roses on Valentine day
two dollars per
at the supermarket because
well

now look at ‘em
unlocked revealing
stratums of rubicund petals
layers of meaning untucked saying
well

and here it is
days later
still facing upwards
unbowed
still fresh              still strong           still summer
fanning out from vase in a transcendent expression of
well
love
