Tattoo

one dozen
exquisite
long stem
American Beauty Roses
delivered in a vase
are hardly consolation
for never seeing your face

photographs, post Cards, 
phone calls and letters
all infering we would get together

then one day
out of the blue
I looked for your name
and there was no you

now on my backside
in rememberance of Stu
is a single
exquisite
long stem 
American Beauty Rose 
tattoo
