Roses by Miss Eva

by Evangeline Eames


Our roses are not store bought

They are dripping and messy

And drunkenly stagger over your garden wall

Leaves and vines fucking and entwined

They press against the doors and force their way in

Weaving and creeping across the kitchen floor

Limbs snaring around your spindle backed chairs

They dig in their nails and crawl up your cupboards

And stretch up to embrace the cast iron pot

Where our bruised and wild hearts simmer
