Roses and Weeds
This deadly -invisible thing
has taught us about love
and exposed all the greed
now tell me
are you giving or hoarding
partying or praying
turning a sharp shoulder
to a neighbor in need
thinking glad it's not me
in that premature grave.
I'm somewhere between
cussing and loving god
with every marbled breath
behind a soft door
of this dry cough quarantine
rolling a pair of dice
called life and death.
This deadly-invisible thing
has unveiled many things
kneaded the rose from the weeds.
