to be black hollyhock,
rosy dahlia and a host
of gunmetal dawns.
Instead
ear and lips embrace
assault on the streets
and sidewalks, uncountable
contrivances that glint
and call for absolute devotion.
When asked to choose
between cave or balcony,
I can only clutch my flapping heart,
relieved she's not a mouth.
