    “Once they came on a maple in a glade,

    And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
    Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.”

    The flower of goodlihood,
    Embroidered the mantle
    Is of your maidenhood.”

    begin to rise.
    They rise and recurl
    to a bud’s form
    and clamp shut.
    I wait in the dark.”
