Thorny Stems

Pink roses wilting on sogging 

thorny stems, resting in a faded 

vase, half-filled with rotted 

water. Through the window, 

the milky sun sits encrusted in gray 

fog. A spider weaves its cotton 

candy web in the corner of my 

studio. The clock glows neon 

white on the silvery 

face of the microwave. Has new 

love finally found me?
