The rose reached for life
through the
shattered
back glass
Its petals
celebrating
sentience
in
the landfill of corrosion,
metal burning
in
lost vanity
Rose thorns delicate
against
shards
of
glass,
residue of middle-class
standards
of safety
The rose
its halting
beauty
indomitable
blood-red
accenting
untended
greys
and greens
of
loss.
