BOTTLE BRUSH
Will the breath of honey-blooms keep us wiseWith our eyes so close to each other's eyes?
Bottle brush in a little clearing,Where the parting leaves show a sapphire sea—The gods have used it to paint a picture,Dipped in sun, for the days to be.We were fools had we let that moment slip:The honey lasts on a tasted lip!
