Potpourri


 


It stays where cuts trap light and fingers,
delicacy all Georgian glitter-glass,
fragile as the far distant ring of bells,
ting, tang, tang, on Easter morning.

Still full of your powder and puff,
your perfume laced with the hollow air,
a small urn in the bowl of my hands,
it came to me of a home morning.

Dark now, your roses with mine,
crisp thin, crackle in the depth,
musky and rich across my room,
pulse through every memory’s morning.
