When

she passed
I knew I was struck.

Now
self-censoring
all over again
in that
swamp of mine.
Pulling me back in
again.


Innocent little persecutor,
let her be praised.




Prone
her face
in hindsight

passes alone

hovers above


her earthbound coat.
Every
time.




She says
she

flowers

for
me
alone.
Look here


once
again.

Sweetly cloud my
crowded mind
for me.
