WINDMILL COOKIES


How do I tell you the way that I feel ?
so that you fathom
the depth of my love

with cards ?
of flowery verse
and rhyme... that end up
with yesterday's recycled papers  

with flowers ? that all too soon
wilt and die ... cut in their prime
as a offering to you

with food and drink ?
at a communal gathering
soon left behind,
like my religion at church

with gifts ?
both expensive and not so,
that all too soon,are a memory
in the back of a mind and a drawer.

well baby, I hope you know,
that to me ...
windmill cookies say
I love you so.
