i wish you could see the pictures on a screen,
the parts of leaves and blades of grass
he's glued on so carefully, the series of
scratches twelve seconds and hundreds of feet long
that i imagine saying greenly i'm sorry
you're sad i love you more than everything else
and this is how i ask, with dahlia petals
from grandy's garden.
