PAPER VIGNETTE
-
why does love sour so
it turns its head
like leaves that grow
towards the meagre sun
-
and why does love
like lichen leave
a mark affixed to skin
a sleeve
a weather-worn tattoo
-
and why does love
like spring
return
the early birds
that rising
burn
in chorus with the breeze
—
This is beautiful Tom
Beautiful.
