Missing Context
Everything is temporary and you should treat it as so,
a perspective you introduced to me that I didn’t already know
it imprints me in a way that now shows…
I dirty, forego a rinse, and then dispose..
I hate looking at a rose in a past tense before it goes

The last line gets me. I like the dark and twisty feel of this.
I’m glad you appreciated that about it, thank you!
Love the sounds throughout the poem.
Thanks Philip!
I agree, the last line’s assonance and mysterious imagery are superb!
Thank you!
I like your use of “dirty” as a verb.
Who is the “you” in line 2? That’s context that I’m actually missing here.
Someone who taught me that some people just pass through your life despite how important they may be at any given point in time
I like that the “you” in the 2nd line is undefined. That’s where the reader’s imagination gets involved
Thank you Jim!
