Golden
July 30, 2012
A dozen roses sit on the bureau, knowing
knowing they were given half heatedly
child of the cyclical force holding us
gluing the feeble human condition to the will to live
Schopenhauer
Red-dye
Genetic modification
Scentless- cleansed
99.99% disinfected- guarantee
grinding petals ignite an electrical fire
of sizzling golden ratio
binding the pitiful- you and I
in a noxious black smoke
to a blind world
