And living in the loft on West 10th
Above Mark Rothko who painted cabbage roses
On their bedroom walls the night they got married.

And she wore a velvet hat with her pajamas.

I was not born yet. I was remote as starlight.

My parents made love in a roomful of roses
And I wasn't there.

But now I am. My mother is blushing.

It can bring back the dead. It can wake the sleeping
As it might have late that night
When my father and mother made love above Rothko
Who lay in the dark thinking Roses, Roses, Roses. — Lynn Emanuel
