nature and me
They call it sacrifice— imagine me a tiny poppy
on a field of green felt—brief blip of color,
knowing how it could have been, pale maples drowsing
like a second sleep above our temperaments.
That was the day your mesmerized went AWOL on the shore.
EAch star, you said, was the same star. Beneath our sunny
beach blanket an anonymous moisture spread like fur.
Its getting dark and darker.
