notebook 05-16-02 merrily unexpectedly we fall into love and waving away the driver we take it for a spin then park again and run the engine until we're reminded of a pressing engagement or the next driver comes katherine with cigarette darling, the curve of you is more than my hands can navigate for just by sitting there with your white paintbrush and its bursting red tip flowing gray watercolors you turn them from steely ships to lions adventuring wildly across their plain sunrise wake me 'fore the sunlight so that watching you in praise of breaking day might i become more true a rose's lifetime patiently the rose waits for a chance to bloom patiently in nihil and rising from the ever-gloom the rose befriends the sill and yet on earth, it flies above to heaven's lowest reach and soaring still, it tests His love jumping to the breach trying stars and then the moon it makes its noble run celestially bounding on until it's crossed the sun where it wilts and dies ye rose of concrete steel and glass ever in hearts of crimson last but in the stony heart be still for those who wish to kill by forthelove |
