"The Tragedy of a Rose"
by J. Kevin Wolfe

A death of indignity
set in the ominous scene
of fall
Even the slightest of breeze 
will strip it naked, unwilling
Petals shed ungraceful
fall like ripped scraps of satin
Bare
reveals the tragic secret
of nothingness  underneath
That the beauty 
was just clothes
