We waited all summer for
that poppy to die but
it died anyway
bleeding its love
into the white sand

World girded a loose
cloak on our bodies, sun
woven into the folds, nuts
squirreled for winter we
agreed the season had expired
and
parted with a desultory kiss

Miami Sunset

The first three lines seem confused

and the enjambment doesn't work in the second stanza.

The final stanza has impact,

but "farther country" is somewhat trite.

The -30- gives you away.

Not one of the poet's best offerings.

Love it, especially

the poppy. Wonderful image.

Simple...

...yet complex, written with powerful script. A fine read.
