"black rose" by Kelly Alexandra Hoff, March 2022

​

​

"black rose

      tack on the wall.

          for a letter.

               for a flower.

​

         For a painting.

              a lamb tomorrow.

                     waiting.

                        waiting.

​

                   praying...

                        praying.

       a black rose

          a w/hole tomorrow.

dirty.  dirty.  

                  roses.

​

a dirty rose...

​

        black rose."
