written Valentine's Day, 2003

You wipe crumbs off your burgundy dress,
like wine and bread.
Surrounding stones engraved with old names.
Obelisks marked with time and place.

Your mouth parts slowly -- not to eat.
A kiss that shudders the cemetery leaves.
As winsome angels gather the view
of crow's foot fields, and I, and you

hold as close as clouds hold the sky.
Your hair falls just so over your eyes.
We watch late light lay breath on day.
Our shadows meander, and slip away.

I know it's over.

There's something about a cemetary...thought I was the only one.
