Plum Good Torte 001edited

 

 

This is Just to Say

 

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold
 





 
 




All the while they were talking the new morality

Her eyes explored me. 

And when I rose to go 

Her fingers were like the tissue 

Of a Japanese paper napkin
