he had lovers hang stockings
from his Cambridge window
Casanova's victory bunting
the man you wanted
the man all women wanted
the man you got
you planted disappointment
nursed it obsessively, possessively
until it became swollen
bore fruit and started to rot
the soil too rich, the water
too pure
no daddy, daddy was dead
planted in some other ground
some other climate, some other time
the oiuji board couldn't contrive
to resurrect what never was
the spells said simply, die
the folly of a woman, who indulged
in alchemy, your expectations
destined to be thwarted, the man
stubbornly remaining, the man
you chose, the man who
had, earthier ideals
