Hieroglyphic

      Delicately
      she bends
      to readjust the rose
      its stem
5     too thick the petals
      about to fly
      off and shout
      but, having initially
      advanced,
10    she
      fails at everything
      the frail limbs disposed
      as before exactly
      everything
15    unchanged
      she
      smiles they are
      too beautiful
