Trying to find poem about rose in shadow of garden wall.I read this after my husbands suicide.?

Since the shadow of death was etched upon a wall,


to stand witness as long as the wall stands, we have


learned how to keep this crematorium garden.


Our grass is green, our paths are clean, our roses seem


to flourish; so no one misses innocence, not


one of us mourns for Eden. We have made ourselves


at home in the place of destruction, in the face


of irreparable rents in the fabric, we find


we busy ourselves with small making and mending,


as often despoiling, and soiling earth's garment


here and there, always thinking: it will clean, Mother


will forgive us once again, once again. She turns,


oblivious in her great sleep, pain ingrained in


her harvests and parturitions, awaiting flames.


I ALSO JUST FOUND THIS ONE


Climbing up the path I step aside


Delighted by the fragrance of roses upon the garden wall.


He meets me at the gate;


Gives me welcome, and a cup.


I drink his wine,


And lose myself in drunken loving among the roses.





Asleep in two worlds,


No fear or pain,


Content where I am,


Until its time to climb again,





I cannot remain lingering between;


I tell him so; He smiles,


Pins a rose upon my breast,


Guides me back onto the path.


Now he joins me in my quest,


And fills my time


Increasing my capacity for wine.
