a rose-garden fragrance~Rumi
when we were speaking
on the phone last night,
i swear i smelled
the soft scent of roses
we were talking about
your bringing flowers to your mom-
when i asked the color, you said pink;
that's when the fragrance began to stir-
the rich scent, bordering
on a formal rose garden;
i had to open the window-
even after we finished talking,
i stepped out into my rock garden,
and smelled the pink roses,
fortissimo, my quickened heart
