the rose of its own unmaking
was never meant to be any more
only a rose
nothing more
nothing less
under the sun it didnt shine
under a rock it trembled
it couldnt float
couldnt sing
couldnt dream
couldnt hope
it was just a flower
that was all in its making
no pearls in its petals
which would weigh in its folds just as rain
raindrops
only rocks above it
which could support its weight
the rose could only drop
pearl amongst pearl
raindrop against raindrop
onto the rock
as it soaked
and they both lay soaked
unable to do anything
as the rose was just a rose
unmaking oneself
petal under petal
and thats all that it was
only a rose
