Pink Roses Against Your Cheek by Aurora Antonovic

Accolades were tossed today
like meteor showers
touching earth
but all I can think of
is you are alive and breathing
and maybe waiting, hoping
for some pink sweetheart roses to arrive
with a brush of baby’s breath against their cheeks
and while you are still breathing
living
laughing
I have been asked to write your eulogy
and I feel like such a traitor
as I start scribbling about you
in the past tense
while you are very much alive
and losing yourself
in the first wisteria's
fleeting scent
