Rosy Valentine

If my enthusiasm snags
On sorrow’s thorn
And my salvaged flesh
 
Seems all I own
The abyss of being nothing
I must cross
 
To where the rose is weaving
In the roots
A whole new rose
 
Seems far from here
In the darkness
Of the glistening earth
 
Not dead but buried
Cooked and eaten
By some passing god
