by any other name

by Izzy Koranda

a rose by any other name
shall smell as sweet
a little
prick
upon the finger
come forth blood and pain
again again
the most painful flowers
have the sweetest smell

A tantalizing look at a classic quote. So many interpretations can be made of this reflection on the thorny rose!
