Deracination and Uprooting the Rose

This moment of Rose and her
 -- sun soaked seconds dispelling 

Careful shades,
Reticence

Til the clouds breathe
Warm breaths

Against the blue void

This of rose – her:
Aching caresses of green and brown

Within the 
thaw 

of days, ice routines
running down tree-legs

toward a gold-licked floor:

this moment of rose 		and her

Veins of water, renewed, bursting 
Bulging on the straining arms

Of dark Earth bronzing in the light,
Bracing itself: 

Overwhelmed, flushed, panting

This moment of a rose, of her/of me, 
of being	                                              swept away
