Roses of Crepe Paper

Roses of Crepe Paper

Drying, fading

changing texture

becoming paper

holding their shape.

Roses of crepe paper

in the vase before me

not silk, not rice paper

softer, stiffer than that.

The bouquet, each blossom,

holding life still, but

progressing toward paper

a permanent state.

Soon dying, fading

changing texture

roses of crepe paper

to hold, to touch.
