On Vanity

Get Back!

The brier of the Rose bush
Screams
While resting above a full head
Of paraffinesque dreams
That give way to the shower
Of the Suns Ocher beams
I awake
Pick the Rose and toss it
Into the choking Stream.

For what use is a Rose
When speckled with thorns?
Why celebrate skin deep beauty
With flesh so easily torn?
