Pressed Flowers
Pressed Flowers
The flowers we picked last summer
and pressed in your ladies’ magazine
have crumbled to dry blossoms
and feed a winter fire. But they
remind me how you walked in sunlight,
red clovers in your hand, laughing,
while time turned cartwheels and
on a single spike of timothy
two bobolinks fluttered together.
