another poem written in the mid seventies


This flower

"This flower
they say is yours,
I don't want it.
It is you I want."

"Breath" she said,
pointing her brittle twigs
to my petrified nostrils.
"Breath for me,
I am the dream of spring".

"Look" I said,
she looked away.

"Look" she said,
her face deep in snow.
The snow kept falling
until morning.
