I waited for you in the gloaming
on the pine path to the lake
I offered you an onion bath
to cure your wedded wife
The locust appears harmless
in a round room, under your dress
The Dancer Orchid resembles a boy with yellow skirt
flared out as if a window
could be made of straw, Tess cuts the grass
The noted weed
you see don’t worry when you close your eyes
It’s only a cabbage moth, magnified many times
