In Concrete Earth In concrete earth there blooms a rose. Its crimson beauty boldly shows. With perfect petals in neat folds a cement garden city holds a sight so rare, nobody knows. In rain and wind the flower grows between the cracks and all life’s throes beneath a sidewalk under foot, In concrete earth. You wonder if this seedling chose to break away from all of those and plant itself somewhere for bold who do not fit in the same mold. So, here a rose is juxtaposed In concrete earth. 8/18/18
