Take this thought of noon day sun I give it to you with a flower Purple like a July rain In the evening of dusk Yet this thought is tiresome As the flower sags to the left Your bones ache dry and your eyes Glint in the rays of a gift of July For you before July is gone This year and August rushes in I wish you take it softly so And place it in your kitchen window And as this thought and flower Wither with the dying season With the decaying thought of summer I hope you stop to never think of me
