Mom's Roses

 The robot that stands in the corner of the 

living room watching, waiting

An investment of sorts, in mental illness or

slow spirals of natural decay

The hurts spill out into a dark pool between us

Our reflections clearer in the surface of the black water

But when I come back home, roses smile out at me

from the dark recesses beside the house

Saying it's okay and that things will be better in parts

that glimmering pieces of crystal that shine in the darkness 

still exist.
