On Her Locket
On Her Locket
================
O altering love! My love,
Let you remove the locket
Your pir-father has given you to wear
Around oh! Your delicate neck.
I’m sure you’ll find this life lovely again,
This earth—heavenly.
Those slipping smiles and that loud laughter,
Shall return.
That scolding and sulking,
That tickling, irritating and false-fighting,
All that fun, will surely return.
We’ll fly again together to that platonic world
And rule there…
As queen and king.
Or don’t tell me to interpret your dream,
“You were whole night
As amid dark dotted snakes
In a deep dark ditch
And loud laughed over by
The nasty monsters surrounding.”
