roses for my love
on the floor before the fireplace -
the sound of Champaign

velvet petals rest
bushes without blush as one
last time he rode by

Note:
I was told the story that my one grandfather
in his later years tended roses. After he died,
on the way to the funeral home all the bushes
were in full bloom - on the way back to the
cemetery (passing the house) not a single
petal was left on a single flower.
