like
a
garnet-streaked tulip, valentine,
in a
field of daffodils
more
yellow
than
the newborn springtime sun
more
welcome
than
my favorite denim, softest sweater,
my
cowgirl boots
and,
seeming
lost
like
lace and pearls
by the
bed, on the floor
come
morning
is
found,
rare
and
flaming,
between
us

the semper augustus was the most rare and valuable tulip at the height of tulipomania in the 17th century ($5,700 for a single
bulb!).
