Ever remembered having received flowers pressed within the pages of a book you love to read, such as Shakespeare’s Sonnets? :-) Well, sweet youth has something for its winter world–the warmth of remembrance, even in the decided funeral of what could have been.

Three flowers

for you speak no special thing

you said: it’s only once the heart is young

 

I can’t, as kids, kid an aged passion

having had too much

scalpel or scrutiny

 

Though love

beyond dissection

for a microscopic meaning

 

Frustrates the hunt for

scientific order.

Somehow

 

The story went the easy way:

fresh flowers

faded in a story-book, where fingers

 

Bloodied with a shaking joy

once pressed them gently there.

Once, I thought, for ever once we could

 

Break from dream out to the real things.
