The Rise of Fall
by K.R. Copeland
Fluidless hydrangeas droop,
like students’ heads
who do not know the answer.
The moment itself hangs, ill-fated
hive from fiery Myrtle —
emptiness unbuzzing
through the sunless hub. And yet,
I am undeniably alive!
A pulse, impulsive,
purple rise —
a shadow on a hillock,
my only wish that you were by my side.
