Elegy for Val's Husband
Elegy to Val’s Husband
I knew she was not a rose
was never sharp enough, and she didn’t believe
in snapdragons. She grew tomatoes.
She said
How pretty they would be,
touching the stems
how tall,
but I don’t know if he will get to see them.
I wish she would grow morning glories
and sleep through the night.
Written 2010 as an exercise for the MFA program at Columbia College Chicago
