Desertification

Did you have to run so fast,
on long legs
(what are you, an ostrich),
flee before I could
properly fall in love
with you?
I suppose any
sensible man would
do the very same�
still, you left me
with only
the tightly closed bud
of infatuation, struggling
to bloom within the dry
desert of my
mind; I have only the
memory of your face
to water it; can't let it die
for all that
I want to.
