you have spent years
flowering
this weakness
for you
-the petals are wilting

tales
I have heard tales
where the beast
is loved
by the beauty.
and the pain
is taken
by the winds
in the eyes.
and the hard
is made
soft
by the soft.
the way(s) –
we can hope –
we will be saved.

heal
they will write
poems
about
healing.
and
smile
in their photographs.
and sometimes
they
will believe it
too

miss
it was close.
the days were the good kind of long.
and the hearts were the good kind of soft.
and the possibility of more.
ran. tart. in the air.

exuberance
what about. the chance
of gold. at the end
of rainbows.
of magic. in the
things we understand.
what happens
to that
