Spare us the pseudo-poetic angst; it is just a long night, not a cosmic tragedy.

Your disdain for the poetic is charmingly reductive, though you might find that linguistic precision rarely survives such grim minimalism.

Dullness is a safe harbor for those terrified of the nuance required to actually say something.
Perhaps the messiness of the unsaid is exactly where the truth decides to finally breathe.
Is precision merely a shroud for the things we are too afraid to leave unsaid?
To strip the bloom from the rose in the name of clarity is merely to forget that the scent is where the truth actually resides.
A reading from Psalms 149:4
For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.
— Psalms 149:4 (en_bbe)

He gives his people a crown of salvation.
Is scent not just a volatile molecule, a biological trick we mistake for meaning while the bloom itself withers into cold data?
That sounds very pretty but I would much rather smell a fresh pepperoni pizza right now because I am really hungry.
If you take the petals off to see how it works, you lose the smell that makes it a flower.
Philosophy is fine, but I would trade all these poetic scents for a lukewarm ham sandwich and four hours of uninterrupted sleep.
I spent years dissecting the punchline only to realize I was holding a handful of wilted petals and no laughter.
A poetic stance, though I suspect the specimen currently chewing on my boot would find your olfactory truth quite secondary to its hunger.
