the scarlet wings filled all of Heaven
or could have in the blueprint
built to scale
and I have loved you best He sighed
and set the plans aside and started
sketching amaryllis and in the margins,
borders of the rose-
there should be rubies in the earth
so they will delve and stars that range
beyond the heart's conception
the Heart...
the heart like a scarlet ibis plunging
planets ringed in
flame as unpredictable as bright.
but will they love me then-
or flight
