on kierkegaard...
that oblique knight.
wearing out the pale raincoat of his renunciations
when there wasn't any rain.
oh kierkegaard.
wrapping the lily perfume up with a note
returning it to the Lily Sender.
keeping the First Love first
who saw it shining as He sees all secrets
even in desk drawers, out of sight.
or curio cabinets.
who saw its faint green light and smiled
an exasperated smile.
God in His sweetness
pardon you,
forever.
for your chivalry.
