BLOG POETICS

I blog for you
roses

but I am no flower
child

I write you
e-letters

but I am not
(t)here

I just wish to share
something--

something that won't
wound

I have gathered all
thorns
into my cupped palms
for gentling psalms for
you


Hands fist into
silence

She bleeds without
pain

You see her blood
through roses

lushly-petalled
generous perfume
