Fallen altar

Seasons have changed and that’s a piercing ache mixed with sharp awe.
Today, the weeds have shot up outside my window.
Mazzerdy month waking the gales that whelmed the roses and hawthorns.
Again.
Haunting.
Again.
A discourse between lo(s)e and lo(v)e.
Flourish // Wither.
Can one repair the other that was ruined?
Thorns, white.
Virginal.
Heads, burgundy.
Vibrant.
But I also feel I got lost in tasting too much wounds.
How I altar fallen flowers?
The ones that can’t be picked nor scented.
They are better off their own to flourish.
Wild.
Left alone - Uncut.
Fragile.
Petals – Unfurled.
And a mouthful of things left in silence.
For you better be careful of what you let bloom in your heart.
I think again of time and seasons.
My heart is beating again.
Thirsts, sweeter – hungers, wilder.
Summer is coming.
Let splay the radius of days and erase all I’d seen.
