Mayflower, Mango, and Palm
by Kevin Broccoli
I Saturn-danced away
On the promise
On mayflower, mango
And palm
Two handfuls
Never make it
Back home
The lost aroma incinerated
By a costly candle
Left undisturbed
Crush up the violet petals
Before they fall
And let them spritz
The robbed remembrance
You are inside
And on my hair
And through my sight
Texturing my flashbacks
In gossamer
In soft cuts
There is a particle
That connects
To every time
You found a match
And it brings me mayflower
And it brings me mango
And it leaves the palm
For when I need
Reminding
On the promise
On mayflower, mango
And palm
Two handfuls
Never make it
Back home
The lost aroma incinerated
By a costly candle
Left undisturbed
Crush up the violet petals
Before they fall
And let them spritz
The robbed remembrance
You are inside
And on my hair
And through my sight
Texturing my flashbacks
In gossamer
In soft cuts
There is a particle
That connects
To every time
You found a match
And it brings me mayflower
And it brings me mango
And it leaves the palm
For when I need
Reminding
