I Thought I Loved

for Aneesa

I thought I loved
your delicate brain
best and so I started
a clover chain—
I meant to crown you
Queen of Pleasant,
Impassioned Arguing,
but half-through
changed the theme.
I’ve pressed my wet palms
to the cement
and though the sun
is set on disappearing it—
look here!—your soft heart
in silhouette.
