KILLING ROSES

Torn roughly
from unyielding ground
ignore the protest
weeping sounds
the bloody fight
the thorny 
bloody
rape

The cuts are jagged
brutal 
deep
the colours blur
a mangled heap
a mangled pulp
of rose and tears
a scent of
rose 
red
tears

An ode to beauty
ever more
a prize held high
in maddened roar
all death is birthed
all
stinking
death
is birthed

​​​​​​The mother bush
wilts low to ground
we scream too loud
a mad moon sound
demons now
we scream
we rage
we cry

I kick a stone
I fall to earth
I gave you life
I gave you birth
I gave you love
You leave me grief

I kill red roses
for
the
wreath.
