Supermarket Roses
Supermarket roses,
bright and beckoning
tease battered memories
of passions long replaced,
and bottles,
and overdrawn bank accounts.
Vibrant pink impostors
blush near
dreamy wedding whites,
and orange tipped peaches,
summons
the once new lover
rife with anticipation,
yet left to her
only
the bite of the thorns
from the stolen moments
before love becomes
something other
than its promise.
