ah, in the corner
look again-
winter chrysanthemum, red

Yes, Christmas time
The present arrives
As it did last year
As it did the year before
No need for second-guessing
No need to read the card
I Give You This Cadmium Red
To see your figure by the door
I saw you dance
“What, in these shoes” you had said
I insisted on a twirl by the ventilator
Wow you caused such a furore
