Land’s End (July 25th, 2009)

All week you and I have wandered
In and out of misery
Through quarrels
And through ecstasy, through joy
Frustratingly familiar
This variance
And now we have wandered to
A place you have not been
Before
Someplace new, here at the
Salt blown edge of the world
And I’m glad you came here with me

I’m glad to see nasturtium
Blossom like flame on flame
In your hair
And yarrow
And fennel
Maybe later I will
Look up their meanings
When I am missing you
Again

And soon I will twine
Your hair with
Beach pea and
Primrose
And pick shells and stones
From a beach a continent
Away
And we will look then
A few more days into the future
