i knew you first as the ghost sunflower.
yellow planted & forgot to water.
we leave zebra seeds; salt in the shower.
please, green hot love me; soil for altar.

yellow planted & forgot to water.
bucket, girl-garden, pour me june over. 
oh green hot love me; soil me, falter,
a clover & clover & a clover.

bucket, girl-garden, pour me june over. 
i love you solar-mouthed & corn husk dry 
a clover & clover & a clover.
you haunt me; orchid teeth & eye.

i love you solar-mouthed & corn husk dry 
we leave zebra seeds; salt in the shower.
i want you; orchid beak kiss & magpie.
i knew you first as the ghost sunflower.
