Roses
ROSES
WHEN YOU CAME INTO THE DOOR
YOU HAD ROSES IN YOUR HAND
NOT KNOWING I WOULD BE THERE
EMBARRASSED, YOU OFFERED ME ONE
HOW COULD I EXCEPT A ROSE
YOU HAD BOUGHT FOR ANOTHER
YOU SAID IT WAS JUST AN
APOLOGETIC GESTURE TO
EXCUSE SOMETHING YOU HAD DONE
THE NIGHT BEFORE
GOING BACK OUT THE DOOR
WITH ROSES IN HAND
WAIT FOR ME, YOU SAID
I'LL WAIT, I HAVE NO REASON TO
SHOW ANY SIGNS OF POSSESSION
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU
JUST LIKE I WAITED
THE NIGHT BEFORE
