Rose Gardens

I have galaxies and rose gardens in my head

They come out as whispers and rolled eyes

I blink and a rose blooms but no one notices

I hum and life is found on a new planet

A melody is created but they only see me walk

They see my curves but not my angles

They see my face but not my messy gardens

With roses and thorns and diamonds

That grow from the warm soil like new ideas

— Julia Cirignano
