‘’I’ll love you forever’’You say Thanksbut I’ll just take today corn shifting goldhoneysuckle curl & the high wide eyeof this summer sky.

 Thought unfoldslike Chinese puzzle you’re in my mind’s eyeI have no solution.

You sent me lilies‘’As beautiful as you’’ But I loved another& the lilies kept coming an epitaph to love flaring. Now on my windowpink lilies sit fresh & brightas woman’s skin: you crept to your lairI’m still insane remembering liliesone brief spring.
