You come in

by the same door, you carry

what cannot be left for its own

sweet shimmer of reason, its false blood;

the same tint I hear with the pulse it touches

and will not melt. Such shading

of the rose to its stock tips the bolt

from the sky, rising in its effect of what

motto we call peace talks. And yes the

quiet turn of your page is the day

tilting so, faded in the light.
