a cut rose can be revived
just a few fingers of water
in a mug I forgot to rinse
and already the petals
are fluffed like feathers
on a cardinal in the snow
soft and red and round
wrapped in the parenthesis
of old lipstick stains
and a ring of tea remnant
the grandiflora blooms
just as beautifully
as if it were lounging
in a priceless crystal vase
pronounced with an ah
