A Dire Plea for Pardon
PARDON

Pardon
if I have flirted with
the summer,
basked in its nourishing heat;
left you sick and dying—
cold in the winter—
my love
so unsatisfying.
Pardon me, please
if I went out home
dancing with
the breeze. . .
while you're alone
calming the tremor
your feeble knees,
you groan
wishing, longing, yearning
a lil' while
of the rarest
visit of my spring.
Oh, Pardon me, I beg
for the days
I failed to keep
you nourished and bud . . .
for failing to cheer
when you're deeply most sad.
I should've
tucked you
by the sweetest
blanket of my love.
I am sorry, babe! :'(
