Blue Vase, Pink Flowers 

The vase of roses

all at once—

who’ve turned 

their crowd

of pink

faces towards 

a buttery

slant of

sunlight,

smiling faintly

petals blinking

they’re  glad 

to be

waking up,

dwelling

within blue

space,

gathering

day’s tasks 

together 

here

and

nowhere 

else.
