Last Rose of Summer


Maybe he was the last rose of summer.

Maybe the withered petals should have been a clue.

Maybe the lull of the heated aroma

Made me forget everything that I knew

And wonder if there could be something

Different, wiser, at last?

Something to prove the maxim,

“The best are saved for last.”
