i A Dozen Dead Roses

by Michael Defries

Dead like black
on the corpses of
a million moons

Entering orbits
a hundred fold
without reflecting

Its gravity pulling:
imposing destroying
its new creation.

this piece, while indeed seemingly dark, has movement, tilt, and full imagery...without the dark, how would we appreciate light...kudos on this succinct poem, peace, jewels
