Description
‘gainst the willow.Forlorn, I found her
Folded ‘gainst the willow
Unwarned, she met me
Resting on a moss pillow
My hands reached to take her
But my arms would not move
Of my own plans for capture
My conscience disapproved
So my eyes did the catching
And they caught her well
Broken, a fallen hatchling
For she, too, had fell
A burden shared ‘neath the boughs
Giving all that I could
An oath with no vows
She couldn’t, so for two, I stood
