Roses in the Vase
Remember the roses in my vase?
How much you used to like them!
Their faces are sulky now.
As they lean down to the stem.
The sun is no longer cheerful.
Look at the branches of cherry.
The singing birds are tearful.
This pain is too heavy to carry.
When the sky is gray or blue
Either water the roses yourself
Or bury them into the earth
Breaking the vase into two.
