maybe she doesn’t have to
be anywhere but she’s going
anyway wearing a powder
blue halo that’s how good
she is I would never let the
lecture circuit in on it this
secret is between the worn
podium and the dimmer
switch from open to shut
in two easy steps I could
have said closed but who
would care about that cut
flower behind her ear is
where I’ve been focused
since day one sometimes
it’s a rose other times a
daisy once a sunflower
it bears the weight of my
love well just like her how
easy could this ever have
been you ask and the only
true answer is not at all
