[poem] White Roses, Blue Roses, Andoy Castellano, 19 August 2006

White Roses, Blue Roses

I

White roses
never fade

Rather
wilting
but naturally
turning to gray
Dying
pure

II

Blue roses
Blue
pristine blue

Wilting
becoming
blue
bluer
Dying unchanged

III

Blue roses
Childish
babyish
enchanting blue

White roses
forever
white
comely
immaculate white

IV

Which then
shall it be

Enchanting
Enthralling
Enticing blue

Immaculate
Immortal
Imaginary white

Roses are roses
not blue
not white

V

Roses
held in a bunch
Wrapped
Gauzy
gaudy

Roses in tender hands

Roses
Blue
White
