This Is For You a Certain Woman Once Said

This is for you a certain woman once said To a certain man It's called a chambered nautilus Looks like a sea shell to me the man said The woman laughed at the man and then with him And later that day they made love while it rained The man uses the chambered nautilus as a paper weight now And Because she said it's chambers were symbolic Of the lives they'd lived before
