"Everything is so much more glamorous done in bed...even peeling potatoes."
-Andy Warhol
*Just finished reading a very interesting journal type work by Andy Warhol...quite a character it seems
three petals left
three fallen petals drop against the glass
tainted in red velvet, the cold surface
they drop one by one with slow candorsunrise forgotten without regret
you too, will remember for to forget
each rose petal, once one with an
intrinsic budded whole, pleads to
be left alone, but we still remember
the grace and style by which they fall
forget me not, remember me in redfor golden nostalgia shall be stricken
in love so dehydrates and nourished
thoroughly throughout the fall
let it bud alongside the blue of the moon
for each dear sequence of frozen memory
will water the darkness and manifest our
gradual bloom
the secrets embedded in each petal unfold
to stain our minds in color
and we will forget how to remember
how to forget the process of regret
i will not forget the fumes of the rose bush
the day our hands met
