YDL_030 - the florist 

-

___i lost my hoodie and wallet 

___the night we slept under stars

___in late july heat, the shape of our sleep

___was left, impressed in the grass 

~

we could be persuaded 

with a riot of perfumes 

i could buy a house 

and keep up the payments 

i should send a message out 

that i’m still faithfully yours 

a view from where we started out 

before the orchard burnt down 

before the riverbank drowned
