The rose of Damascus say
On the road to Damascus
Or she fell among nettles say
Suffering the pricks of knowledge
And lay there kicking
But the red blood rose
Sat on the fingertip so quietly
Eternity froze
As if one had seen a god on the road
For which the rose
Was a mere mnemonic
When all along
It was just a child
Running to her mother
