I love you, fruitlessly..
Like my trees in winter
with a spring that's never coming.
All my wild flowers
Wilted, throwing petals down
like silk stockings at the foot of the bed.
I love you, fruitlessly..
Like a treasure map with no X,
and a rainbow without a pot of gold.
Lazy rivers
Icing over
Forgetting what it's like to thaw.
I love you fruitlessly..
A journey with no end,
A ship always on the horizon.
