Yesterday ...
Sunflowers suffer a brisk death.
Surviving in summery distress is an art.
She holds the fruit of paradise between sunburned lips.
Rhone detached her hat from a sleepy shopkeeper,
and crowned her with it and his intoxicating lovemaking.
Miserably loud crows filter in and out of the sun, only half afraid.
She remembers when men fell to their knees at the sight of her.

You make me think of how much I give up for the sake of feeling loved. Not worth it. Beautifully written poem.
ReplyDeletePoor Rose (was her name Rose?). Nice 'scarecrow' write, Shauna.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely poem reminded me of an old song, 'Second Hand Rose,' sung by Barbra Streisand:
"Second Hand Rose
Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from fathers store
Even things Im wearing someone wore before
Its no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that aint been used
Im wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second hand rose
... [and much more] "
..
Maygar, you're a genius with the soul of a poet, or vice versa.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
Your blog is sublime, Silvia.
ReplyDeleteSandy, you are on target. It is a shame when I
ReplyDeletethink about how much women give up for love,
however in some cases it's totally worth it.
Really, hmmm...Maybe I should change the word
