The Rose

The Rose

to behold

the blush

of a rose

and long for

a permanent

stain

is to stand

in the sameness

of the sun

and drink the milk

from the moon

and leave the night

without speck

and the day

without drop

and the land

without tree

then what

could there be

for the me

that is you

and the you

that is me
