mwpm
the first
sets the standard
& everything
that follows
can only hope to be
an approximation
◊ ◊ ◊
the sun off the mirror
looked like
a butterfly aflame
i wanted to put out
the flame
& the sun with it
◊ ◊ ◊
you lit you
r cigar
ette i got
burnt
in the
bargain
◊ ◊ ◊
all i ask is
you tell me when
it’s over
no one ever has
why should you be
any different
