Denial A Rose Entanglement

A Rose —

A rose in rose
arose in rows
of frozen rows:
furrows and roads
where rode sorrow's
erosive woes —
morose and wrothsome
loathsome lonesome
loads, although …

Those throes o'erthrown,
then throve the rose
on thrones of thorns:
o'ergrows those groans,
unrolls her cloaks,
unclothes her robes
enclosing lobes
enclosing lodes
of glozen troves …

Per aura's glows,
ambrosia's flows,
aroma's blows,
the floral rose
enthralls her holds,
enfolds their roles:
Eros-arrows
arouse our awes,
our ohs, our ahs …

— A rose!
