Girdled Poem by Windsor Guadalupe Jr

The lavish grounds
With dearth transitions
Inseparable -
The planets in their orbits
Stars lining up
Acquiescent to the obsequiousness
Of the galaxies
This nebulous fracture,
Constraint of the languid clocks -

You are girdled
To my abundant gardens
The wind that dastardly blusters
Over your marvelous inflorescence -
A paragon of botany,
Love and science.
My Sun burnishes for you
An efflorescent smolder,
An unabashed glaze of golden sluice.

Grow your baleful thorns,
Your flawed mystique
And execute your violent bushwhack -
A scorn of the pallid petals.
Adamantine stem, ignite
Like the amaranthine amour
The flambeau holds
In the razed hours of silence.

You are girdled forever
To the tapestries
Of mine.
