My heart is festooned with hate mail.
Painfully, I pluck each letter
in a desperate attempt to clear my name.
I am swaddled in discomfiture.
I address my heart with a sinister resignation
while the radiant core of loving mocks me in its scarcity
vanishing on a dime by spears of temperature or a
critical stare.
Time stretches, an abysmal yawn of untiring hopelessness,
then snaps out of the vector of despair
into a single rose.
