On the day I enter your house
and find you crying
I will raze the roof
and replace it with stars
then out go the walls
and all you see
is the dolphins in their sea.
I will plant giant sunflowers
in the seams between the tiles
on your cold floor
and the dolphins will laugh.
When you are not looking
I will replace your television
with a tank of exotic goldfish
your computer with a cherry pie
and your crying towel
with a garland of lilies.
Before I am done
you will have no place
to hide your grief
for exposed
to my joy of loving you
there is no such thing.

On the day I enter your house
and find you crying
I will raze the roof
and replace it with stars
then out go the walls
and all you see
is the dolphins in their sea.
I will plant giant sunflowers
in the seams between the tiles
on your cold floor
and the dolphins will laugh.
When you are not looking
I will replace your television
with a tank of exotic goldfish
your computer with a cherry pie
and your crying towel
with a garland of lilies.
Before I am done
you will have no place
to hide your grief
for exposed
to my joy of loving you
there is no such thing.
