The Experiment

You came and found me when the stars were blowing
          Like strewn petals flowering in the dark.
And throbbed against me in surrender, knowing,
          You only came to strike from me a spark.

The spark was struck and you were once more glowing.
          You laughed and left me here where all is still
Save for the sound roots make when they are growing
          And the rush of grasses on a windy hill.
