Behind the Curtain

BEHIND THE CURTAIN


I picked the withering roses
Out of the vessel;

To fling them off
I crossed the door
Only to find
A palm of fingers 
Tilling a land 
Between his belly and abdomen
And soon his yelping mouth
Caught it and swallowed .


Alas! where ‘s 
 My rosy n chubby hunger -dear ?
