Note Thirty-Two

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.” ― Alfred Tennyson Art: Meditative Rose, 1958 by Salvador Dali

Note Thirty-Two

By: Chase L. Currie

 

Tennyson's gave me

A flower with you name sealed into it

 

The thorns bite my

Indifferent gaze

A drop of cardinal delight

Came forth

 

I wept at the

Sight of it

 

"Why?" Tennyson's asked

In utter dread

 

For I was her

John and her Judas.
