A Rose

written by: Magdalena Podobińska

So finally
the sun went down
and
they went home
both in their own direction
somehow
she took him with her
and he took her
in their hearts
their dreams live on

don’t say it aloud
you’re not allowed to

when the sun rose the next day
she opened her eyes
and smiled

she planted a rose
and it grows
grows
grows
and he knows

He knows

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
