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