Safe DepositI thought that I could keep it−the light on the running tide,how your eyes give you awayno matter what you hide.I thought that I could hold it−the forest along the sand,your neck bones like pearlsunderneath my hand.But time’s school has taught mehow petals brown and die.There’s no saving pleasure.Don’t try. Don’t try.
