The Exaltation of the Holy Cross


the tulips at your feet

sagged on their stems.


I wanted to scare them

back to life.


the tornado made us feel eager,

expectant.


all those bricks

fell so quickly.


with the neighborhood

pooling around the storm drains,


I really thought

you’d return my kiss.
