for the sake of an earring green


i looked and i looked but i can’t find
your earring anywhere in my room
and the one you left behind on the window-sill
seems to be going a deeper green with gloom

the only way to find it i guess
is you wear this one in your ear
and we recreate that friday night and maybe
the trajectory of loss will become clear

Wow. Beautiful. I can see an emerald glow flying in slow motion across a room bathed in yellow light.
