A Rose Shoulders Up

“Don’t ever be surprised
to see a rose shoulder up
among the ruins of the house:
This is how we survived.”

“The trees you see have been watered with our tears.
They bear no fruit.
The red roses take their color from our blood.
They smell of death.”

“The seashells are filled with the sound of lapping waves,
our feet running on the sand,and the stories we heard from our grandfather.

“Yaffa is my daughter’s name. I put my ears near her mouth when she speaks, and I hear Yaffa’s sea, waves lapping against the shore.”
