you're not who we thought you were - ekphrasis 2

for jenni baker



we're not who you thought
when you pulled the last petal

tore the breath from our breast
the beating hearts of coffee mugs

a pretty thing in a vintage dress
and the heady fragrance of spies

on the veranda, a breakthrough,
i think i'll love you anyway
