The rosebud unfolds into full bloom
Sensual breath of winter frosts over flower
Diamond blossoms into being.
Music nips at my ankles and imprints its ink across bone
The piano strikes chords lit with midnight
When clouds descend from the sky and clothe the
Peaks of the mountains
There shines forth the citrine moon.
The rosebush holocausts over with thorn
In the birthplace of the soul
In this turquoise womb lit by sandalwood candles
Find the corsage of love.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
