[New-Poetry] "Sub Rosa"

[James Cervantes]

Sub Rosa


So cozy?
I don't think so; at least, he gave no external sign.

Person?
In light of what may happen to artists,
art may be his thick right hand.

The Agent,
a timid booth with cell phone,
inserts a five mark piece and calls his party.

A hen,
finding the eggs of a viper,
carefully keeps them folded.

The gate
is closed --
the entrance
made conceptual?
