Can you bundle up the sea
everything in it
and send it back home?
Once I found a tuft of buffalo hair
and mailed it to my lover
how could I not?
It had such a curious quality
both fuzzy and coarse.
I stuffed it in a box made for a ring--
imagine her surprise.
When you see all the color
in an instant of sky
you want to keep it.
Mom used to grow evening primrose
it bloomed when the day was through
such a pale yellow flower in the dusk.
