White Hinterland
Magnolias
There are some daysAlive in meMore alive than meIn those daysBleeding into the lakeIs a blood-red paper corsageOnce you said that you hated all flowersBut for magnolias.You never caredFor the finer things, for linen or fancy carsAnd the sweet summer hymn of violinsPlayed in your ear like nails on a chalkboard.I never could understand your wordsThough we shared our fair share of bloodWhen you said you looked forward to deathWho were you putting on?O HeavenI've dreamed youfor such a long time.Heaven is a lakeinside a crystal bowlwith tea lights and magnoliasfloating on the water.Forever and ever:As far as the eye can wander.
