Brad Rose

Hourglass Figure

She’s jealous of the cloud’s white drape
sashaying in the blue-silk distance,
as I admire its slow, unfolding prettiness
unburdened by rain.

Brad Rose

Bee, Erratic

It’s not your sting I fear,
nor the frenzied crush
of your yellow thrashing,
but your faithless hoverings—
nearer to me, than I am to myself—
until, like the electricity of sudden shock,
you flit to some other unsuspecting Poppy,
whose pretty nectar you imagine
far sweeter than my unswerving, dulcet, devotion.

Lullaby

In place of light,
dream
trespasses
throughout our bodies,
unthinkable
stars
whirr
weightless,
while in the next
apartment,
two secrets
shush the darkness
to sleep,
as if it were an infant
sky.

For Rent: One Bedroom House

Sheets stripped to bone-bare bed,
your closet, empty as a mineshaft,
I trace the invisible circumference of your leaving,
as the house falls dream-dead quiet,
and the basement digs itself ever deeper
into the earth’s dark stone.

Behind the Scenes at the Funeral Home

All of you, now, small as a simple sentence,
they drain your blood from a whitened body,
as if you were a typo.
