Short Poem For Two Eyes

Though this single clipped rose 
has now lost its soul,
I know of a lonely hand 
that would be happy to hold it.
I know of one I have not beheld 
in decades of dusty time,
A red-lipped briar I once enfolded 
with whispering fingers,
To feel its life pulse, 
the smooth iridescence 
of its stubborn rise;
To see its slow effervescent bending, 
and then to see it open;
Alas, I am drawn inward 
by its onslaught of invisible maneuvers;
By its unseen whiplashings 
of the atoms and the universes.
