Have you ever walked into a room
|
to feel the feel of someone you used to know?
|
Someone old, someplace new.
|
|
I come home with six cold keys
|
from a closed Hilo jail;
|
six cold keys the size of forearm bones.
|
|
We plant three bulbs for later.
|
When it's later we pull one.
|
It's a hot day, it's a hot day, it's a hot day
|
and we are so amazed how slow it is to wilt.
|
|
I wear my crush just like a plaid on a vest
|
that I never take off not even when it's hot.
|
|
There are some days
|
that leave the taste of an orchard
|
so I bake them into something sweet.
