We spoke of Genghis Khan
and your friend
over cups of tea
and summer heat
The cool breeze unwrapped
your cheap, flowery dress
spilling lust on the
streets of New York City
Lips, turgid with unspoken secrets
caressed tetracycline teeth
as you smiled
and refused the flowers
I almost bought on Houston Street
I Have this Garden of Poems
at first and then carried away with my greenthumb i planted everything trees and more trees and shrubs and bamboos and vines and hanging plants almost everything and so the blooming flowers died and the grasses diminishing like some hair of this baldness but nothing is lost in this garden of poems the birds came and built their nests some are still coming every morning and then the chirping begins |
