whisper pink roses

whisper pink roses at portland rose garden
after cleaning the whisper pink roses
some petals decided to fall;
while placing the flowers
inside the crystal vase
more petals got away

still, this morning, after everyone
got up, we witnessed twenty four
roses, more open than ever before
growing towards the windy grey

no light to upstage the roses
as it is a darkened windy morning
the pink stars greet us in the form
of flowers, perfumed air rising--meeting
olafactories, fairly middling of the road
