it will cut your love in two I was told by someone
who'd know, someone who did give a pocket-
knife to their love. The best present I ever got—
a gift certificate to fly a falcon and I never redeemed it,
just let it hover in my mental map. An idea is all I need
and my god, my love wins at being my love, hands tied,
hands down, and really took the prize with this falconry.
He knows I'd throw a diamond like a penny just to
make a wish, some fleeting shimmer in my brain,
a silhouette of a dream, and how a gift can be a weight,
a tether. A valid gift is: a bike horn, a pineapple, a pine-
cone, a box of Jujubes, and I tell you I've been lucky
not to be wooed with flowers. God knows no one
wants flowers in a world like this, a world with feathers.
