You came into my life
in the middle of the day...
"Are these really blackberries?"
"Ones covering the ground...
She stood silhouetted by the fading sun;
amber light painted her in magical strokes...
Before we met
you endured much...
I always remember my aunt
with a black veil over her face...
Directionless
rudderless...
"Went out the door without looking back,
you'd think a demon was on her tail...
He sought a glorious end
that would make him legend...
There are things rich people
cannot understand...
You never grow up
but if you are fortunate...
No words more pleasing:
"Yes, I want to spend the rest...
All mankind's poisons
will survive as Earth converts...
