a rose arisen

bud bloom and
hip petalled and
pared a scent
and descent into
a void where
there is still
promise and memory
of will and was
but which is a
rose and arisen
the burgeoning
foetal flower the
unfolding glory of
display the fecund
globe green then
flaming orb it is
all and none like
me and you in
the cycle of a
rolling wheel
generationally
joined and riven
by the neverness
of being and the
always of the
beyond for the
ever shall be
has also always
been but only
glimpsed as in
a garden
