Monday's Poem
.		© 2008 Lorraine Gane The Poppies They slip from hairy buds grow pink and red mouths thin and crinkled till the sun irons them with yellow waves This morning sodden with rain, they hung their heads like old women in mourning while the sun hid in a sullen sky Now they frolic in the wind, bright bonnets open to the glittering light, and I think of another day like this so ripe with chance nearly two years ago Early evening high on the bluffs over Fulford bay, your voice opened a door I stepped through into the blue trees, silence, the quiet fire of your arms
