.


Perhaps
In twelve months
If the both of us
Are still alive
We’ll draw
A little nearer
To each other
Than we have before

And I again
Without using words
Will praise your hair
Your face in profile
The color of your eyes

And you surprised
That any man
Can still
Be a fool for you
May think for awhile
And smile

After all

What harm can come
From once a year
Being younger
Than we are

A happiness that comes only once a year is still a happiness... and to be treasured.
