Forsythia

Irony
insists on
these two things:

your tongue taming
the yellow.

I forget

Maybe it is the smothering beauty of the green, that arrives late,
is the rest of the write ??
As short as this is, it is a large puzzle to sort out, it has a multitude of sighs..

I'd be grateful if you could remember the other one :) though I loved the

"your tongue taming the yellow"

Like how your poetry bleeds off
like that..like someone thinking aloud
away....looking into that distance..
I remember conversations
with people like this..
I talk aloud like this all the time
and it just pisses people off.

I like smart people
creative people..
realize how rare
it is
to find them...

I found this..!
