Haiku of Love surrounded by his love yet by herself her wedding day by his side— daddy’s little girl desirable man her eyes trail off the path passing by his forgotten smell floating memories February breeze on the rough picnic table July kiss bride-to-be holds her face running out the church fresh-white snowflake falling together anew memorizing you everyday love each print revealed door closed roses on the dresser making-up our future appears glittering ring ecstasy clenching his hand arm rest in the way scary movie stupid drunk college party I don’t know you come home to me drunk you love me even more our voices ringing in every church corner His hands on us laying in the damp grass an evening star complete our universe pressing my fingers to my eyes laying on the cement you hurt me more than you know the other woman (whore) my old friend spring, spring what new thing will you bring arms around one another . . . the music stopped glittering on the water the sun’s rays— sunset walk laying by your side in bed— soothing every wound sea shell never ending spiral— the design of your eyes his salty scent upon my body sunkissed hot afternoon nap up against me— curled up cats together in the sunlight diamonds sparkle another compromise agreeing to disagree— lovers quarrel she runs in the field away from him— fireflies rise
