oh in that photo i do wish

oh in that photo i do wish i were holding a
rose, one red rose stemmed rose no stem.
i wish i were holding a rose and giving that
rose to you, to you a ruby a rose. i would give
you a brethren a kin to your petals to your
blush and frailty.
oh in that photo i do wish i were holding a
rose, not a carnation because those are my
mother's favorite, the puff firework outward
and all around bloom is her favorite.
to you i would give you this proverb, a rose
this rose to you no stem, a rose stemmed
i would give you the upward bleeding head
just so you know, that in that photo i wish i
were holding a rose
to give
to you.
