Rose Valentine 2

The Apotheosis of A Pale Rose

is this blank morning’s

imaginary medieval text

a clever comedy from Langue.doc

with results both unavoidable

and sexual the translations

sold down through time

with less and less fragrant

connection to the new

singers arriving in the trees

as if the light were offered

from inside the chest this time

and not the rose as token

of the swallowed sun

imagination unrestrained

and memory undone.
