A Cafe Rose
by Stephen W. Cote

a cafe rose
lonely and old
rests upon a table
she's seen, she knows
the coffee's cold
The bread just a little stale

she wonders why
she hasn't seen a blue sky
in so long

they call her wind
she'll blow her breath again
she's been a sage
everyone is at her age
they call her old
they call her cold
she is what they say
as the doors close
left to stand alone
petals in wilt
thorns mellow
a cafe rose
