Minors first. What does that mean? We don’t know
But we have to try something. The selection is sharp
But I can’t say I like to wait. Your eyes
Are midnight blue at midday. Give me strength
You used to ask. And then: Are you sure? You tell me
You want to stop at any time. And here
We are the breath amazes and you are so
Polite at table. (That comes from your Ma.) We adore
Depth of lie, the blood cry, and tender tips.
You are delicate with tears and things
That off in forward fashion. Zealously
We had time but time does not have us.
We decline bruises on both knees and blood
On the crown for now. We don’t have good intentions
(What are those?) but we have you.
