milton: nocturne

for e m...

i feel something different.
as if i were quivering
on the cusp
of a new world.

don't want to say much, though--
it's hard to say anything with any freshness anyway.
i mean, for example,
your eyes are like
flowers
your mouth like
a flower
your hair
flower-like
your face
fair as a flower.
because flowers
are the most beautiful things in the world,
i guess,

or at any rate they will withstand
comparison
to you
if only barely.
