Open Link Night #407 at dVerse Poets Pub.
In response to Sanaa at dVerse Poets Pub: https://wp.me/p1GTyJ-91X
Inspired by “Svarta Rosor”
(“Black Roses”)
by Ernst Josephson
“Ty sorgen har nattsvarta rosor.”
“For grief has roses black as night.”
Black Roses
They ask why I am sad today—
as if sorrow keeps a calendar.
But it blooms quietly,
beneath laughter,
behind light.
In my chest
a garden grows
without permission—thorn after thorn
learning my name.
Still—
look closer.
Even grief
makes something
beautiful enough
to bleed for.
