SKULLDUGGERY

You may press this rose
in your heavy book of plays

staining this passage red: alas
poor Yorick I knew him Horatio

I realize time will run
the Jolly Roger up your flower

chewing its potential to stain
with its bony teeth perhaps

it would be lovelier to crush
my gift between our foreheads
