Yellow roses (Day 1421)

say hello  to the stars

when you look up 

one hour after dark

or to the furious wind 

urging you forward 

on a familiar dare

when you lay 

on those old tattered quilts 

count the yellow roses

for me   

how many nestle amid 

faded pink gingham 

and blue ticking stripes

and if you find yourself 

enfolded by morning   

allow yourself 

to be
