Butterfly Effect - ressourcesfeministes

we fall upon one another kissing brushing lips against
mouth against cheek against nipple against roses there
and there and there
climbing roses fall in cascades from the pergola passing
beneath the blooms the scent of rose oil is overwhelming
the roses hang in all their glory roses as white as roses are
red 9 black roses veined with red roses in hues of orange
and pink yellow and mauve roses as rare as a blue moon 10
we paint still lifes and fashion wallpapers and fabrics we
photograph each bloom trying to capture the moment
when dew slides across the surface of a petal 11
we weave damask cloth stitch roses on to footstools and
from time to time we cut the blooms from the bush
not for us the crown of thorns or a briar of wild roses 12 to
fight our way through we cultivate the thorns as much as
the flowers petals are strewn across the path into the
garden entry is simple if you know the ways the trick is in
how you place your fingers how you cup the bloom how
you approach
we have a map we invent a terrain we find our way into
and through the rose garden
