If(and when) roses complain their beauties are vain

[ironynoose]

dear disillusion
“sla `via-ce' est-eviria”
envenom, beautiful. inordinate:
an attempt at symmetry
cadastre, citadel: catastrophe
Yes coral, give me the ashes
oubliette: opposing orifices anonymously,
contradicting rose pedals
meager to the second
polaroid bridges overlooking
a different kind of drowning
