On a page
a word
stirs.
 
Stirring stalks
flower
buds of May.
 
May showers
tease
our forlorn skies,
 
Skies that mate,
then split
to birth a language:
 
this language that is
shaped like
a yellow flower.
 
A yellow flower
crowns
my pretty heartache,
 
a heartache that weaves
sunsets
around a single word:
 
a single word
that stirs
on my lonely page.
