WHISPER IN LOVES LOST ROSE

I want to take an axe
slice, decapitate
spread its delicate scent
deep into the rain-sodden ground
stamp
plague
push
slaughter this uncommon beauty

willingly it gives up this creation
into vast romantic gifts
greeting lovers
in smiling abundance
casting loves caution before the fleeing
shadow

I smash into the clear fragment
those vile sweet blooms
coughing
vomiting
urinating
exterminating before all love's fragile alters
I produce darkness
pronounce night

now cast into the shallow earth
upon bleached broken bone
surrendered into deaths charms
