Stretched into diagonals
Superimposing darkness
Imposed on silvered leaves,
Posing over night--
Reflections breathe outward
Into waiting loneliness.
Light inside my study
Glows black roses
Downward twisting calyxes
Upward sweeping petals--
Light fingers blackened glass
Into night--illuminating
The shadow behind the Rose.
