Moribund

The sad wakes leaving
Yes………… only petals of 
A yellow tulip—pickled in a rose bed grieving 
The loss of morning
The mortician's flower Strewn room sees 
Roses bloom 
And petal 
Gaily 
The river rides them 
And the water dyes them
Black and Sadly its eyes 
Are grimly weeping 
Into the bank
Waking The bees to buzzing
