Rose Cyle Poem by Fred Rik Kesner

Rose Cyle

cracked pot by the door—
a rose blooms despite the mess
still catching the light

her red is louder
than missed calls and loaded carts
she blooms anyway

petals tilt, unasked
you pause with a half-held sigh
she knows how to wait

no slow violins—
just leaves falling on concrete
no apologies

gone with no fanfare
she leaves red on your fingers
like something unsaid
